When Pat and I finally get a winter rat, I intend on naming it Harrold for exactly that reason.

Well, I am totally bummed that I don't get to ride along in the trunk for this, but it will be great to see everyone Sunday!

Fine. You guys all go off and have fun. Meanwhile, I'm sitting here looking at the prospect of a Thursday night without an NPR Rise of the Runelords game. :cry:

Would love to! Unfortunately, I have to go drop my son off at "Camp Grandma" back in Indiana over the weekend, and not near Indianapolis, so I'll just have to imagine what it would be like to manhandle Mike's automobile.

All roads lead to Indianapolis, though... :)

I am still debating whether I will be able to make it on Sunday. I had the GenCon site up and almost bought my badge yesterday... I might see if my neighbor is going on Sunday and we can pretend to be a family... They went last year.

If it helps, GenCon is absolutely no fun without the rest of you here. We are miserable and drowning our sorrows in games and drink.

Thinking of just going home early.

I just found out one of my friends from college is there in Indy too... Gives me another reason to try to make the trip on Sunday...

So, having one a four day pass for GenCon next year from the puzzle contest, I was pretty stoked that I actually made it to GenCon this year!

Upon reflection when I got home, I realized that I probably won't be able to use all 4 days of the pass and it would be a waste for me to use it... SO ... If Dave or Pat/Sarah Beth would like my pass, I would be happy to send it to you... If not there is a guy at work who would probably take it off my hands... :) (With the timing of the con next year being the 17th through 20th, it has a good chance of falling on move in day for my daughter's senior year of boarding school... and I know for sure that the final day of the con will definitely fall on my 29th wedding anniversary... that doesn't mean that I might not be there on Sunday next year... We usually don't do much celebrating on our anniversary anyway... My wife frequently has to work on the actual day, being a nurse... We can always celebrate on another day... sometime AFTER both of the kids have started school and we have the house to ourselves again... except for the dogs...)

They seem to have lousy timing of this thing where I'm concerned. I was hoping to go next year but the time in August really makes that impossible because kid schools will be starting up and there's way too much going on in those first few weeks. Maybe the year after that, who knows. By then I might be able to haul kids along with me, no problem.

I didn't get a chance to see Nelly this time... :( She was busy on Sunday I guess...
