Is There An Echo In Here?

Well.  It's official.  I'm moving to Seattle.  I'm really, really moving.

The moving company took all of our stuff a few days ago - over 52(!) boxes worth of clothes, books and DVDs... the latter two which my wife laments the greatest.  We still have a surprising amount of things in the apartment, including a dresser and twin sized bed which will be donated to Habitat for Humanity, but none of the standard fare in the way of tables and chairs.  That should prove problematic this weekend for our goodbye party but my friends are a clever bunch; we'll come up with something.

This last weekend I played possibly my last D&D game ever.  That makes me sad in and of itself; playing tabletop roleplaying games is a tradition in my circle of friends.  We've had basically the same group for over 5 years now, including two friends from college and even one from high school.  I know that it will permanently spoil me against my next group of players; like a baseball mitt, it takes years to wear-in a solid group.  I'll miss the hell out of them as people, my friends are my family, but at the superficial geek level I'm kind of screwed here.  =(

But the show must go on.  They've already started a new project; a shared campaign setting with rotating DMs.  If I get the time, I think I'll write them an adventure to play in my absence.  If I get time...

While I'm waiting for my last day at work to come to a close (only five more days left!) I've been amusing myself with old episodes of Whose Line Is It Anyway.  Man, I loved that show.  And in the plethora of crap television that has come and gone in the last few years, I have to honestly ask why did they ever cancel it?  I bring this up for the very slight seguey into the fact that Ryan Stiles lives in Bellingham, Wa and the next very slight seguey into the fact that we might actually see him live the weekend after we get to Seattle!
