I just sent out a poll to my D&D crew (with a new member) to see what sort of game that they would like to play. We are meeting a week from tomorrow to roll up characters, and I would like to have a small session where their characters can start to learn about each other and work together. We will see where we will go from there.
Today was Mardi Gras, but it didn't really feel like it. For that matter, it doesn't feel like tomorrow is either Saint Valentine's Day or Ash Wednesday, yet it is both. How are we already almost halfway through February?
[controversial] There was another mark in history today as a sitting cabinet member was impeached by the House. This only the second time that has happened in the U.S.; the last time being almost 150 years ago. The last time was due to an actual scandal, but this one is another do-nothing publicity stunt by the people who call themselves Republicans, but who have Reagan, Eisenhower, T. Roosevelt, and Lincoln spinning in their graves. It's such a colossal embarrassment, but it's clearly timed to hide Trump's takeover of Republican party leadership just after his signaling to Putin to keep up the war in Ukraine.
These were the main three. The others weren't even worth mentioning.
