26. I have a few things right now.

I am constantly working on what is known as a 'ttrpg', or a 'Table Top Role Playing Game'.

It is based on this premise: A group of 8-10 year old scouts get lost in the woods, discover a massive old mansion, get fooled into rushing into the mansion, discover that it is actually the base for a mad scientist who is creating zombies to take over the world, manage to not only defeat the scientist, but also his gang of undead and demons, learn that the scientist had already released several of the zombies, decide to stay quiet about the gear you had gathered while defeating the scientist and use it to go find and destroy the escaped zombies, then form a secret group to continue the fight against any and all paranormal activities, a la 'Ghostbusters'. (This idea was had and expanded on long before the new movies came out, by the way.)

I have been running a version of this game for three years on a gaming website, and I want to create it as a real 'table top' game, like 'Dungeons and Dragons'.

I am trying to organize our 'new' garage so I can work on things. I will be able to do this probably until New Years, unless Minnesota decides to have a real Minnesota Christmas. There are some projects that I will have to do out there. I doubt the apartment neighbors will appreciate my using the miter saw for five hours in my place.

Also, I make jewelry... but I have not in a while and I need to start doing it again. My 'jewelry box' was pretty depleted, but I have spent time replenishing it and now I should empty it again.

(And, and all of these things are subject to postponement due to a failing body and mind. Figures.)
