The wife and I have become quite addicted to a new computer game called World of Warcraft. This thing is spreading like wildfire. It started with my friends at work. All of them have been playing for a while and it is a frequent topic of conversation at the office. Instead of continuing to sit through endless conversations about something I had no understanding of, I decided to join them. I knew it would be a great game, considering its heritage (it's based on a series of games I enjoyed in the past) and the company that makes it. I was hesitant at first to get involved with a game that charges a monthly fee (as a result of it being a completely online game), but after using a friend's free 10-day trial, I was hooked. Now, as long as we're not out of town, we play every single night after putting the baby to bed. I've managed to rope some of my non-work friends into playing too, and it seems to be spreading from there. Anyway, if you want to know why I haven't been updating my blog much, this is a big reason. So, if you want to reach me these days, you'll have to go out and buy a copy of the game, create a new character on the Eonar realm, and look for a dwarven paladin named Jossamer!

Our New Addiction

It lives!
I was about to lump you in with Bob and Ross into the category of "Dead 'Blogs". Thanks for saving yourself. Consider my nagging a very small part of your punishment Mister Pushy-Pants....
I think there is a big difference between not updating for two weeks and not updating for over three months! :-)
So Michelle gets out of the shower this morning and she asks me "What have you thought about today?". I rattled off a few things about work, making sure the cats were fed, and Warcraft. Michelle had thought of nothing but Warcraft since getting up. I really think that she's going to stay home and play all day one day. She's far more addicted to this than you are.
This is your fault.
BTW: I should be able to make you your bronze tube soon. If you sign Michelle up for WA (WoW Anonymous), I may give it to you.
