I recently spent 4 days in Indianapolis, with most of those days spent at GenCon. Unfortunately, we left at the start of day 4 to get home. But, what we came home for was well worth it. After flying for 5 hours, we ate and drove to Austin to attend the Nocking Point. And for those not in the know, Mr. Amell plays Oliver Queen - the Green Arrow - on CW's Arrow. So you can go here.

Exploration of Wine (and Poetry). Sunday, August 24, 2014. An Affair to Remember: Main Street Affairs in Llano, TX. When I am out visiting wineries, especially those a little further from home, I look for certain businesses to enhance my trips. I look for good restaurants, places to stay, fun places to visit and be outdoors, and comfortable spots to relax. Yesterday, I found one of the places: a place to relax. This picture comes from Main Street Affairs' Facebook page. So we had an entire Texas menu at ...

Thursday, July 23, 2015. The Next Great Campaign.

Most players want stability, and to watch their characters grow and evolve over time. Ended in legendary fashion, and one of the players recently moved which puts the future a little up in the air. Regular readers of my blo...

I found out where most were located and who tended those vineyards. I learned about the grapes and the obstacles these brave farmers faced. And then I learned about the outsourcing. Would I have ever joined my first wine club (which was Becker by the way)? Would I have met all the wonderful people I now know?
