24 Introspective Musings
Following the explorers upstairs, I find myself drifting into introspection mode… I can create enough wealth to buy anything I want. With that, I have everything I need to survive in the city and to live extravagantly if I want to. I could set myself up as a local power, but that would tie me

Went to pick up prescriptions today. Walgreens is still suffering, they only had 3 of my 6 medications. The staff was really trying though, they were able to ad-hoc add my sensors since they were in stock. Lots of other people were leaving without what they wanted or needed. I was asked, so I’ll just

23 I’ve Got a Secret
I look at the explorers and say, “You can keep eating. Nirvana is unlikely to join us for a while. If my guess is right, she’s going to wait until I prove something I’ve started to suspect unless I stumble into something else. Bring out both handbooks, and I’ll show you where to spend some

Hanging with the grandbaby today. Walking Superstition Springs mall (wow has that changed in the last decade), running around the Idea Museum, Mexican for lunch, stories & cartoons along with a nap, then dinner at Red Lobster. All the kids are worn out, and so am I.

Prepped to see the Grandbaby today and then raced over to give Grunge some time at the game table. Things looked grim for a while, but Grunge pulled through! I’ll have to add some more lore into the archive! Look for that next week after I get back.

20 Getting Class
Just as we are coming up on the exit to the graveyard, a couple of adventurers decked out in clothes and equipment that screams, ‘THUG!’, step out from behind the pillars that the gate is attached to. “Well, well, it’s some of the big shots in the Explorer’s Association. What do you think, Billy? Do
