Back from walkies…spent more time looking at the flora than the fauna. I did a lap from 14th to 10th and back home… a lighter walk, but I took it slow. I envisioned myself shrunken down to about an inch high, wending my way through the tall grass along the sidewalk. I cleared my mind of many of my thoughts, just a few primary foci remaining. Thinking about the big picture, and I see good things on the road ahead. I’ll be really glad when vacation / holiday season has passed. It seems to make things more difficult than easy, counter to the celebratory vibe it should have. Walking clears the cobs, and nudges my mind to the positive things, like thoughts of my sweetheart’s laugh, or hearing her sing… sure to bring a smile to my face. A hot shower after a long walk is wonderful, too, something about it makes my memories of last night’s dream fade from my mind, spinning down the drain with leftover suds and water. I thought about my dream as I walked, but I can’t for the life of me remember what it was about, now. perhaps it’ll return later, but I don’t think so.

The LOTR game editing gig is going ok, maybe more research than I’d thought…plus, *nobody* uses spellcheck. I’ve had to create a custom dictionary for Tolkien words. The rules system looks ok, but nothing to write home about… better than “chartmaster” old MERP used, though.
