* It’s almost the end of January, the month that Melissa refers to as “the Monday” of the year. Recently had a memory trip back to 1989, 1999 and 2009… as 2019 was coming to an end. What was I doing, where I was at, on each particular year. Can’t recall much of 1979, but pretty sure that was a good year.

* The original “Dungeons And Dragons” was first published in 1974 by TSR (Tactical Studies Rules), originally designed by Gary Gygax and Dave Ardenson, a pen and paper fantasy RPG (role playing game). Personally I’ve never been a fan of tabletop games but can’t deny the fascination I had as kid with Ultima V: Warriors of Destiny.

* Recent news recap: global scare of a new pandemic, impeachment trial of a wannabe dictator, democratic left-wing candidate gaining steam, my grandma turned 89 years old.
