What does that cover?

Diablo didn’t excite me, but I loved Diablo II. We had three computers on the boat connected in a LAN so people could play against/with each other, and D2 was a very popular game. I only played it online once – one of the other guys asked me to log in and stay logged in so he could repeatedly try putting gems into a set of armour to see if he could get something really good. He just dropped the rejects on the ground, and when he was finally satisfied and logged off I was able to pick through them to see what I wanted. (They were all rather more powerful than anything I’d been able to obtain by that point.) There was a D2 module for D&D; I wish I’d bought it.

I envy musicians, but if I could force myself to practice more than five minutes at a time I could eventually get to the point where I’d be willing to play a tune or two for friends. I envy singers even more, because it wouldn’t matter how long/much I practiced – I’d never get to the point where I was willing to sing in public.

We had a power outage some years back during the winter. The neighbour broke out his grill, set it up in the snow, and fixed his supper.

Kissing in school was frowned upon in my day.

I save my love for steam power – diesel and electric locomotives just don’t interest me. Every couple/few years we go for a ride on the Essex steam train.

We have a Weber kettle grill, but only used it a few times last year. I hope to do so more often this summer.
