Talked to Danny earlier, and got to hear about his coming game with his students. It sounds like he’s going to have a lot of fun… six players, one DM… First level party comprised primarily of Halflings and half-elves. Dan helped Julian with some plotting and mapping, so he knows a few “surprises that will be popping up in the course of the adventure…I think that helped his enthusiasm. He also assisted many of the players with character backstory and general fleshing out of the party. As it stands now, there’s a rogue (Danny… going to multi-class with a ranger, I think), A pair of clerics (Each with bladed weapons.. is that allowed now?), a paladin, a fighter, and Ex-pirate Assassin-type turned good. They’re going to go on an old-school cave/dungeon crawl Wednesday after school (Half-day for thanksgiving) until 5:30. I look forward to hearing how it goes… I’m Happy that he’s found a little social gaming fun to squeeze into his burny-outie teaching schedule.
It looks like we’ll not be going to his place for thanksgiving… instead, I think my brother and I will just spend some time together and get Chinese or Mexican, and give thanks that someone else is cooking, and maybe catch that seagoing flick. In other, related news, bro never returned for his TV today.
MmMM… Chocolate Braaaiiiins.

Also, if they are unsure, have them go here and click on their state. This is a report commissioned by the Institute For America’s Future about how this bill would brutalize the Medicare system for each state.

I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t know enough about this bill, but I think that the first sign of a bad deal is the fact that it’s getting rushed through without giving people any real time to go over all of it’s details. And those that I HAVE seen I find disgusting.
