From my home in Charneca da Caparica, Portugal.

 🛬 Just Returned from Norway

Just a short jaunt to Oslo, it was the only northward non-stop where the departures and arrival times made sense. A sample: the direct to Iceland arrived at 2am,
Note: I just checked Edinburgh and that would have worked too. It's now on the schedule.

✅ Changing Priorities 

Since moving to Portugal thirty-eight months ago, health and fitness is a more prevalent feature of my life. Weight training and cardio are top priorities, especially with all the tasty food and wine here.

Learning Português and integrating into the culture seems an unending process, but the challenges and changes are great for an aging brain like mine.

Still trying to manage my time, with pen and paper, Slack, email, calendar, etc.
The problem may not be the tool on the screen, but the one between the chair and the keyboard...

 

📚 Publishing Projects

Just finished up a haunted house short, as well as one on time travel. It's about time I figured out where to share these.

Started an autobiography/memoir (I'll have to look up the diff), since I'm one of the last in my immediate family with my marbles mostly intact.

Pathfinder 2 version of the Libram of Lists is done!

Still collecting tales about kooky things that happened at work. I've over one-hundred now.

🛝 Diversions

eBook: Swords and Deviltry (Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser Book 1) by Fritz Leiber. I'm looking for inspiration for running my D&D games.

 

Paperback Book: The Complete Cthulhu Mythos Tale - lots of pages.

Video Game: Hogwarts Legacy, which has been surprisingly fun.

🕸 Sites and Social

Urban Realms: Where my wife and I hock our wares.

 

My one article on Medium about what D&D did for me. 

 

D&D 3.5e SRD: My contribution to the community, by hosting an updated version of the site, for the best version of Dungeons and Dragons (IMHO).

Fantasy Grounds Modules I made for D&D 3.5e

Monnett (I like it, but sadly, it's currently app only): @meltivore - Mostly travel

Pixelfed: Mostly animals

Instagram: Feed of car photos, but now the IG algorithm sucks and no one sees any of my stuff.

 

Bluesky: My neglected feed, where all the cool kids are going instead of Xitter.
