Work has been kicking the ever-loving bejeezus out of my keester this week, and that’s the nicest way I can think of to say it, which should tell you just how much of a pussy I really am.

Got good news in the mail, though. The cousin of mine who I’ve written about before, the one in the Army Reserve and sent to Afghanistan? Well, according to the mail his wife sent out to family, he’s home again. He’s staying in the Army, but his wife is 6.5 months pregnant and he will be home in time for the normal end of the pregnancy.

We’re all hoping for the best. And it’s nice of him to keep his head down and stay safe, so we could have something to be hopeful for.

This post explains pretty much everything. Once again, lately I’ve been posting everywhere but here.

Anyone going to GDC next week, be sure and stop by the IGDA booth and pick up a copy of the Game Writers Quarterly. They’re for free.
