I Forgot Some Things

fauxkloreI left out a couple of people on the non-celebrity death news in my last post. I never met Dovster in person, but I followed his posts on Flyertalk. In particular, he was a good source of news about Israel from an on-the-ground perspective.
I knew Eric Berman from the National Puzzlers’ League (NPL), where his nom was Ember. I particularly associate him with a trivia game called Trash, which focused on pop culture instead of the more highbrow trivia many other people use. (And I must confess that I am generally better at the highbrow stuff.) But he did include enough Broadway-related questions for me to not feel completely useless. And, more to the point, even the things I was clueless about were clever and amusingly presented. One of th email reasons I love the NPL is the level of creativity I see every year at con and his games were a fine example of that.
In other news, I think I have finally figured out what I am doing between two events in early January. I’m also starting to develop plans related to a few of my life list items.
What I didn’t manage to do was write holiday cards and go grocery shopping. I guess I know what I'm doing tomorrow.
