I did think of telling them they all have to bird-hop around, too.

But they're kids and clumsy so that's kinda unfair and liable to cause tripping and scratching
He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

I went to a pool with a mini-splash park area where spray fountains are activated by a motion sensor situated 30 or so feet away from the fountains. The notion being you wave your hand in front of it and then go over and play in the water for a few minutes.

I convinced my 5 year old that you had to say "Water, I summon you!" to make the water come. Other kids observed my shenanigans and would wave their hand over the sensor to get my son to believe he had water powers.

Good times.

So, I applied for a manager job at the local Halloween store this season. I have a bit of informal experience managing people, between "Prak's in charge" and my culinary classes, but didn't really expect to get even an interview (because I'm really cynical about job hunting).

Last week, they called me in for an interview, and the regional manager seemed to really like me and be really eager to hire me, but said that they run background checks on all manager candidates, and would call me midweek if they wanted to offer me a position.

Yesterday- nothing. But today while I was at my aunt's helping her with some baking, my mother called over and told me to call back the regional manager.

This year, after a previous four years as an associate at halloween stores in general, I will actually be a manager with my own store to run. In a high income area.

Yup. Thought you might like that tidbit though, especially if that later inverts.

Unrelated, I tried to show someone your wiki at the bar this evening, but he had already seen it.

Apparently my location is by a theatre, I'm going to see if we can send people in GotG costumes over to promote the store.

I just got accepted to the Navy War College graduate degree program.

Feels like I should take a victory lap of the neighborhood or something.

I presume those things are good, so congratulations! (I can see the obvious downside to being a store manager for Halloween.)

I'll be going on my first cruise in January. I'm pretty excited.

Leaving Ft Lauderdale for Ocho Rios. Although seeing Jamaica would be nice, I'm mostly doing it for the on-board entertainment (60 metal bands are being signed for the cruise).

Enjoy the cruise, Count, but be careful in Ocho Rios. The locals are brutal to tourists in terms of high pressure sales.

Count, you are required to get as many of those metal band members to play D&D with you on as possible on that cruise.

Christopher Bowes is both a sociable dude and kind of strange, I think that be doable. Any of the power or gothic metal bands there might be down. I will try to wrestle my introverted nature to submission and try to get that to happen.
