This Strange Trip Called Life

Well, I found out on Friday Morning the foot wasn't broken and they gave me permission to travel so I found myself in Rochester, NY for the weekend. A great time was had by most if not all. I was able to meet some more excellent people and get to know a few others even better. Went to the doctors on Monday and they cleared me back for work full time. But you know its bad when the doctor tells you the bruises are ugly, so here they are in all their terrible looking but non painful glory:

The foot still hurts, but I wacked it pretty good so I will just medicate with pain killers for now and see if things get worse.
Good Fight
Good Night

( The List: )

Origins was a very interesting time all in all,
The trip out other than the Radio malfunctions was fairly
uneventful and quick. The Double Tree Hotel was very nice.

The first day was relaxing the RP was light, the people were good and the
after party was awesome.

The second day is when the hell started, the con floor was interesting, it felt more at home than the floor @ Megacon. that night brought the damned conclave, thankfully
my Chargee wasn't all that interested so I spent most of the night either in the courtyard or the downstairs bar and not stuck in the room, more party, more drinking, and meeting up with more folks like the Florida Crew, and a couple of Coord types.

The last night is when the weird happened, more conclave, but the majority of the night was yet again spent in the bar where I found my new favorite special brew, Blue Moon, great with a slice of Orange, and the last party night with White Castle Burgers, oh so yummy, crazy scenes and very little sleep...

Now there is the Ride Home, we started at a decent time, had a small issue getting back onto 70, but all was good... until we got back in the mountains, niaha's car had some issues with the mountains but only caused one stop on the way out and that was nearly 2/3 the way through the trip. Coming back However was a VERY different story, by the time we crossed into WVa we had already stopped once and it was not working as well, so it was decided between the two cars that myself and Rojir would stay behind with Jess for the night.

So here I sit, many hundreds of Dollars poorer, after having one of the best and worst gaming weekends ever, looking forward to one more day off and then back to the Grind for atleast 8 days straight of work.

Overall Thanks to everyone for an interesting Trip, Hello to my new friends, Love for all my friends new and old, I will return next year, or come see me sooner... Nonclave is a little under 2 months away

OH! and the Few Pics I took that didn't totally suck are here:

SOTM and playing on the National Mall,
People even costumed very well and all.... and I have one pic I took....
