If we covert all out gold / bars / gems to pearls we have 1174 large pearls. Let's see what we can buy.

Doc visit was quicker than usual, always nice when the doc's office isn't backed up.

I am paid well still and mostly left to do my thing and am in a safe place to say enough is enough.

Which is way better than virtually everyone who reports to me.  So mostly try and make sure they have longer roads if I can.

:(

Thanks for taking care of that. 

I dislike my new boss folks.  But I have a pretty good and supportive staff.

I've been thinking about Sanda's spellbook, just to update that. It's mostly me being indecisive, but I hope to get it done this week sometime.

You all ask the good questions... now I need to figure out the good answers.

This is written mostly as slice-of-life, a personal "write what you know" piece to try and get me writing more regularly again after so long away from it.  Basically, it's me, 15-ish years in the future, having retired and decided that I was REALLY bored (which is an all too real scenario in my case).

As for plot, it starts simply as a "isn't this a cool game", then turns into a "how can I push things in an interesting way", and is now currently in a "actual conflict with a local guild" phase.  Wasn't sure how I am going to end that, or even keep it for that matter.

Also, hadn't realized I was switching tenses so much.  One of my greatest failings in my writing is getting past the "immediate scene."  I have scenes in my head, and I can write those easily enough (usually), the trick is always connecting multiple scenes into a coherent story.  I suspect that the change of writing (including tenses) comes with try to move things along at a pace that won't bore other readers.  My first attempt at this was literally writing out everything... and in reading what I wrote, even I quickly found it tedious and boring.
