General
So its been over a year now since I moved to Omaha and I feel that's too long to have that downer of a journal up on my page. Since moving I have had two jobs and I really like the one I have. Computer and personnel issues aside the job itself is interesting and the people I work with are generally pretty cool. I miss the friends I have made throughout my life that I have moved away from physically but the internet and other modern conveniences allow me to still keep in touch.
Another big hurdle is telling my family that my spouse and I do not plan on having children. They asked my spouse but have yet to talk to me directly but we have that same answer so I guess its no big deal. People keep saying things like 'your an only child' or 'you parents will never be grandparents' and the like but I think those are horrible reasons to have a child. We have two cats and they keep us on our toes as it is, I can't even think about what a tiny human would do!
That aside, life continues on. Bills still need paying, work still needs to be done, new responsibilities need to be learned. On the plus side I'm gaming again. I'm running a Star Wars game set in the Old Republic in the Outer Rim/Wild Space far from the Republic. A little Serenity, a dash of the Magnificent Seven, a smidge of...well...any war move and the rest full of the Star Wars we know and love. Only two sessions but I'm hopeful it goes on for a long time.
On a side note: I can't wait for the election to be over with. I'm tired of the negative adds and mid slinging. If you believe all of the news there is no candidate worthy of my trust, never mind my vote. But November is still a long ways off so I better hunker down and just ride it out.
I hope all who read this are doing well or at least have a plan in place to get better. I've been kind of all over the place and have not been able to pursue everything that I would like. That being said I have been working more on my story and I have more chapters done. They will be posted as soon as I get around to revising them and then getting around to posting them.
I wish you all well and I hope 2016 is a great year for you!

well, I'm glad Omaha is doing allright by you:) Socks is still with us and as crazy as ever. Nak is back at Loomis, I'm at the big Blue Electronics Store selling lotsa gadgety stuff, and I think I told you we're about a half hour south of San fran, so no more fearing pitchforks and torches for kissing in public, but no more going in the backyard and testing the trigger pull on Nak's AK either.
As for no kids: good for you! don' fulfill any stereotype, just be yourselves! I hope your mate is happy there too, won't say her name on here.
Grats on running a campaign again! We still discuss some of the stuff we did in our campaigns(especially concerning a certain airsick lizard, among other things) and we miss you both.
Best wishes to you and your kids(the cats), and we hope sometime in the future to meet you two again:)
