Dead Again


 Heroscape is dead again.  Heroscape: Age of Annihilation is not to be.  Avalon Hill pulled the plug on the reboot of the game last Wednesday citing insufficient crowd funding as the reason.  I'm a huge fan of the game and have enjoyed playing it many times over the years.  I was very excited to see its return.  New generals, new armies, new heroes, new rules...you get it.  But as of now, it's not happening.  I'm including a link to Sir Heroscape's YouTube video about the failure to relaunch the game.  I agree with the majority of the points he brings up.  Give it a gander and see what you think.

Full of Bologna

When I was a kid, one of my favorite things to eat were grilled cheese sandwiches, especially with tomato soup.  Sometimes there were variations to the grilled cheese.  It might be bacon, tomato, or a a slice of bologna added.

The other day, I was in the store, and saw a pack of Velveeta American Cheese singles in the dairy case.  Close by were packages of Oscar-Meyer Bologna.  That was it, a sign from the Heavens.  I grabbed a loaf of bread and off I went.

I should be ashamed to admit this, but for the past few days, I have been a bologna and cheese junkie.  I've had it in a grilled cheese, on a toasted bagel, and on a sandwich with mayo and tomato.  Pure joy!  Each one bringing back great memories of growing up with this wonderful comfort food.


Perfection!!!

Not Happening

 Sorry all.  Yours truly is temporarily sidelined.  Orktoberfest fell to the wayside due to multiple family issues and me reinjuring my shoulder.  So my angry green-skinned friends will have to wait a bit to get finished.  Sad...very sad.

Speaking of sad, the Steelers and Penguins are not looking so good.  Can't even get a little satisfaction there.  It's just not happening.

What is happening is my favorite holiday is rapidly approaching.  I can already smell the pumpkin pie and taste the turkey.  Oh yeah!
