Just signed up me and MOG for a child/parent Zombie LARP at GenCon. Don’t know all the details but I think the parents dress up like zombie teachers and the kids have to figure out how to get out of the school. It may be the most awesome thing I’ve ever heard of in my life. Rock on, GenCon… rock on.

Danger Monkey Speaks
We call the boy Danger Monkey. Because… it just fits. And he loves it.
DM (age 3 1/2): “When I’m grown up, I will live with someone else who does not have a baby.”
[Editor: Yeah, I hear ya, buddy. I hear ya.]
DM (age 3 1/2): “Things are different now that I’m halfway grown up.”
[Editor: Good luck with that.]
Father Up
I’ve been mad at my Dad for most of my life because of the mistakes he made. And he made plenty. Bad ones.
But now I just wish he was still alive so I could tell him that I’ve made my own mistakes. I finally know for myself how hard it is, and I have forgiven him, and it’s all just love and respect now.
Most days I think I’m a pretty good Dad. And — good or bad — I am who I am because of him. So my successes are his legacy. So… thank you, Dad, for everything.
Happy Fathers Day.
