Long Time No Blog

Okay, I confess... I've been remiss in updating my blog. I don't suppose an excuse signed by my doctor would be sufficient?

Probably not. Not since I haven't actually been sick. Rather, I've been particularly engrossed in work.

Not that that is much of an excuse, I know, as I constantly profess that everyone in general should respect the need for rest and relaxation. Despite that, however, I haven't been as active in DDO as I once was.

But I do still play. Usually two or three nights a week, in fact. Just not the five or six I once spent.

Of course, work isn't the only factor influencing that change, as my propensity for playing DDO did not go unpunished by the wife and real-life friends.

I've always maintained that so long as the wife is happy, I'm happy.

Turns out the wife is happier if I don't spend five nights a week in DDO.

But I still play.

Odd that a great many people seem to think I've left the game.

I haven't. I've just been playing some of my "younger" characters. Especially Trinarias, the construct forged by Trinarius (the Dwarf), thanks to a little assistance from Haywire and his foundry.

In fact, the construct Trinarias is now Level 11, and pushing steadily toward Level 12. He promises to one-day succeed Trinarius as head of the clan, if he lives that long.

That still doesn't explain why I haven't been blogging very much. Actually, the last time I posted a blog entry was January 10th. Almost three months.

Well... sorry. I've just been busy doing many other things. Creative writing simply wasn't one of my higher priorities.

And, if you must know, it's because of some of the guildies and allies that I finally decided to get back into Blogger and post something new.

In fact, Redraider posted a comment about my lack of Blog entries in a discussion thread on the guild boards the other day. And, one of the officers harangued me in the Message Of The Day on the in-game guild board for the same thing. If I ever figure out which officer actually did it... Belzur, maybe??? I may have punish him. In the mean time, I might be able to do what my Drill Sergeants used to do back in Basic Training... when someone screwed up, but they couldn't figure out who it was, they *smoked* the entire platoon...

:-D

Call me a sadist, but I actually enjoyed those smoke sessions.

'course, I was far more fit back then.

Still...

"Just drop and beat your face, until *I* get tired..."

:-D

I wish.

At any rate, Trinarius still plays, and with luck, the mid-level characters will be ready for their first Dragon raid sometime in the very near future.

Until then, I expect Holley the Cleric, from our allied guild, the Lifetakers and Heartbreakers, to be keeping an eye out for us Face Stabbing Misfits, to help round-out their adventure parties. It's more convenient to post on the LFM panel "come group with some *real* Misfits."

Keep it fun! (I'll try to blog more frequently.)
