Took this evening to build a new Magic deck. It’s been about a month since I last played, but there should a big game on Friday night. This time I went with a bit of a theme: Meddling in the affairs of wizards… or something like that. All creatures are wizards, clerics, or shamans. Colors [...]
This evening the wife and I sat down for a friendly game of Magic. An hour later, the dust and grime cleared away to revel her dancing a little victory jig, as I lay bleeding and battered upon the ground. (This metaphorical scene is almost true to life).

Today’s updates are short, but they exist. Tomorrow is Friday though, and I certainly look forward to that. Fridays are generally good days at work. This Friday [...]
