Have I Not Run, Run So Far Away? Indeed, It Is So!

I haven't felt like writing much since getting back from the NPL convention, and I'm not wholly sure why. I have been in a big reading mood, though. Over the past few days, I've been slowly working through The Canary Trainer, If on a Winter's Night a Traveler, and Swords Against Death, depending on which I decide to pick up at a given time. I've also been recovering a bit. And out a bit. My cousin just returned from military training, a kind of post-boot-camp graduate school for those training to be officers. He regaled us with stories of the Fear-Factor-esque program (designed to eradicate potential sources of panic in those who would have to issue orders), and in return, we filled him in on what had happened regarding my aunt's death. Shortly before he entered this program, my cousin had told him that if something happened to her mother, they were not going to call him, because they wanted him to be able to complete the program without feeling obliged to help. He didn't hear the news until a few weeks after. Now he's back and we're putting the pieces back together for him.

( Also, I've started running again. )

SunNYTX: 31:27. The last step was a little confusing, but all in all it was a lot of fun.

Minesweeper Fans:

Soon, you will either love me or hate me. A fascinating new Minesweeper variant is available in the form of Minesweeper3D. Same Minesweeper gameplay, except that the action takes place on one of a wide selection of polyhedra. These different polyhedra also demand different patterns of tessellation, so one tile can be adjacent a lot more tiles than just eight. The sounds are annoying, but the game itself is solid, even the few levels I've played from the demo. If anyone buys the full version, let me know how it is.
