In our newest campaign, I am playing a very old Drow bard. Oxi is playing as my granddaughter. She calls me Fafa. She sent me this video yesterday with a note that said “Fafa don’t take no mess.”

That, of course, spawned lots of talk about my character going on tour as a James Brown impersonator. You have to admit that his shirt kind resembles studded leather armor. Right?

So, in addition to that silliness, Teacher Sis and I have been working out the logistics of taking a trip to Seattle to have a cup of coffee at the first Starbucks. Then, we’d turn around and come home. Oh, right, she wants to see the space needle. Okay, so we get coffee, then see the space needle, then come home. That breaks down to about $600 for a cup of coffee. Awesome.

There’s a slight chance that we’d fly to Seattle, handle our business there, catch a flight to Oakland, rent a car, drive to Yountville, eat a $300 lunch (the Chef’s tasting menu) at the French Laundry, drive back to Oakland, and fly home. It would only be about $500 more for that part of the trip. And it would take the trip time from 27 hours to 51 hours, but what’re you gonna do? You’ve gotta do what you want. I foresee a lot of travel in my future. California, Seattle, New Orleans, St. Louis, France, Japan, etc.

Oh, I started thinking about triangles. My mind wandered. I guess I should get ready for work. Have a wonderful day. More soon. ~SC
