I know you're waiting...

The wedding was more than I could have imagined. There was never a moment when I wanted some time to myself. There was never a time when I felt like I was on stage and taking care of everyone else.

It was three days of bliss that I didn't want to end.

No one told us about the comedown.

We planned so much. We laughed so hard. We had so much fun.

And now it's over. How odd...

I have five pages of notes that will turn into a fifteen page entry. So many great sayings, so many funny moments, so much fun and dancing and laughter. And now it's all done... How odd...

It's been an emotional week that we never expected. I have a ring on my finger that means the world to me. I feel its weight, I twist it, I look at it's beauty and I think "I have wanted this for years."

So why are we sad?

Well, for one thing, it's done. It's all over and it was magnificent.

For another, my friend Tommy Phelps passed away Tuesday morning.

It's been an emotional week.

    Congratulations to both of you! Did they serve jamon and tentacle at the reception?

Army Magic

As requested. Army magic was a variant that the old "Team Quarterstaff" invented years ago and I published an article about it in Scrye. Army Magic: A Multi-Player Variant By Jamie C. Wakefield Axelrod Gunnarson glared out over his barbarous and supernatural army. The foul smelling Karplusan Yeti’s; the Sengir Vampires flying high above; the myriad wizards, clerics and monsters that made up his forces. How the Angels and the Elves held out for so long against him was vexing and inconceivable. He had long ago crushed Palladia-Mors and his Goblins and Dragons. Soon after that, he had defeated the nigh unstoppable Lord of Tresserhorn and his army of Merfolk, Doppelgangers, and Zombies. But still Asmira and her Angels resisted him. If only he could lure them away from her accused Castle, he would have them! But as long as she and her followers remained behind the mystic walls there was little his army could do. For now he would have to wait, and plan. There are many variations fo

Greed and the One Percenters

It is baffling, and sad, to me that part of the world thinks that profit > all, even at the expense of human dignity.  It gnaws at me every day when I go to a chain gas station or a McDonalds or any other place where I know corporate profits are > everything else in the world. Why can't McDonald's pays its workers more? We all know they can. We all can pay a dime more for a Big Mac. It's like this everywhere. In the UFC, Dana White was brilliant at bringing the sport to mainstream America and generating hundreds of millions of dollars for the Fertitta brothers, who were already billionaires. And even though they could pay their fighters more, they don't. The last payroll for the last event was under a million dollars. The UFC is like the NFL of fighting. The number one organization. Some of the guys that make it there get paid 2k to fight. Meanwhile, Dana and the brothers are gambling away millions at the tables in Vegas.   Yes, I know how the right will respo

Magic

Wendy and I have just had a long talk. I am getting back into Magic and making a run for the title. My goal this time isn't going to be to get back on the Pro Tour, but to win a Pro Tour. Secret Force: Quest for the Pro Tour II will be available in early June. The reason for this is I need to proof the physical copy of the book that is sent to my house in Vermont and we will be there June 2nd. I will be playing Magic Online until we go home then playing physically anywhere I can find a game while there. When we return to Spain in September I will be playing at a local shop a half kilometer away and writing about playing Spanish Magic with a limited vocabulary.
