Sold!

That's the big news for us this week. The house is sold, done and over with. The new owners even asked to move closing up by one day so we got everything taken care of an day early.

The big news for everyone else seems to be swine flu. They closed all of Fort Worth ISD today all thru next week. That's pretty big. A lot of parents now have to find ways to take care of their kids during the day.

I've been sick all week with a cold, (not swine flu) but its still kickin my butt. I haven't been able to work out or go for a bike ride all week.

Last weekend we were back in Oklahoma, this time for a wedding. One of Nikki's friends was getting married so we came in for the ceremony. I didn't officiate this one, but they did have an open bar, which I always appreciate. One thing I thought was pretty cool, they played the traditional "Here comes the Bride" wedding march, except it was done on an electric guitar. Maybe I can get Marc and Shannon to do that for their wedding.

Okay warning incoming nerd rant.

Wizards of the Coast, who makes Dungeons and Dragons, recently decided not sell their books in electronic PDF format anymore. They said this was done to combat piracy. I really don't think they were losing all that many sales to piracy but whatever. It does mean that a lot of their books are kinda useless to me now. I use PDFs almost exclusively when I design adventures. Especially the monster books, I rarely use the hardback one but I use the PDF constantly. This means that the new Monster Manual 2 coming out next month is going to be somewhat useless without a PDF. I'm sure I'll still buy it, cause I'm an addict, but I'm annoyed that I can't get the PDF as well.
