 The world turned sideways.

Still dealing with several sundry (and boring) domestic gyrations that have sucked up much time and energy. Although these have been ongoing for the last few months, they haven't stopped me from getting hobby action in (just scattered and less regular).  Which brings up the "radio silence" here for the last month or so. I haven't given up the hobby, but have had another spot of unpleasantness that has kept me (literally) from keyboarding for more than a few minutes at a time (it's the posture, you see...). Doing the DIY-thing, I've (once again) managed to pinch a nerve in the neck, which manifested itself in chronic pain running from the source through the shoulder and all the way down the arm (nerve pain; it's the worst).  After three weeks of diligently doing the exercises learned from physical therapy from the last time, the condition has finally calmed down--and now I'm typing again! (As you can see...or read...or whatever.) It's nice to be a tall fellow, except when you start getting old and the physics involved with long necks, limbs, and backs starts coming home to roost. I guess I'll have to hire more staff to take care of things about Meanderer Estate in future (I wish). 

In the most recent hobby news 'round here, though, that I can share in short form, I have registered to run three games at the upcoming Mayhem 2024 game convention. It's been a long time since I've run multiple games at a convention, so this is a rather ambitious schedule for me, but I'm looking forward to it! 
On Friday at 8:00 PM, I'll be running Event #1, The Battle of Lutzen using my Baroque Battles system in 6mm. 
And on Saturday evening, at 8:00 PM, I'll be returning to the scene of the crime and hosting Event #7, Joust for the Fun of It! with my big Schleich Knights. This game debuted at the Mayhem 2023 convention in the same time slot, and I hope it will be as well received the second time around as the first. For new readers to this blog, you may find out more about this system on the Joust for the Fun of It! resource page (consider yourselves warned!). 

That's the hobby news 'round here for now.
Excelsior!
