Swapping games was how the great Keypress virus scare of 1990 spread mercilessly through Canmore. Tank Wars and Prince of Persia were the vectors, everyone was the victim. It got so bad that the school ended up setting up an antivirus distribution center in the library.

Tank Wars was the basis for most of my friendships from age 8-10.

I still remember some of the quotes.

- You're an inspiration for birth control
- Come Get Some!!

I remember some evenings of two-player Hunt for Red October and Mech Warrior.

Being able to talk to my bio dad (Pops) today makes me happy. He's in SW Wa state, across the river from Portland. Haven't talked to him on the phone in about a year - he went deaf a few years back and got a cochlear implant 2 years ago and they've struggled finding a phone that works with his implant, so phone convos were very difficult. We've emailed and snail mailed a fair amount and the whole gang of them were going to come up in August but of course, COVID put the kaibosh on that. Pops got a new phone finally, that works much better with his implant, so it was nice to hear his voice today and be able to wish him Happy Thanksgiving.

Gonna video chat with my sister later, hopefully.

I'm actually making a diorama of Hell. But now that I think about it, a diorama of the Chicken on the Way basement orgy dungeon is a better idea.

Well, I did buy two strings of lights and I have lots of leftover clay and jewelry chain. And it appears I'm going to have a lot more spare time soon...

Totally do this using CP avatars as your models. Fuzz's pickle can be the gimp.

That doesn't sound good. Hopefully it has nothing to do with your employment.

There's an idea! I'll have That Darn Puppet wearing a domino mask and wielding a riding crop teaching some discipline to a few ladies in latex.

Thor's corner.

ResAlien being asked to leave because even Chicken on the Way doesn't go that far.

Corsi and Pepsi just sitting there talking over one another.

Puppet Guy putting on an NSFW puppet show.

Peter12 on Facetime letting us know he is in Vancouver and is dressed marvellously.

Bingo obviously dressed up as a furry troll, eating paste.

Photon, in goggles, playing on a computer in the corner and updating the website.

And not a female to be found because Minnie would not come within 100 miles of the place.

The best part of getting back in shape and lifting heavy weights 4-5 times a week is that once you lose the extra neck rolls (it will come, UCB), you are hungry all the time and can start eating gummies for breakfast again.

I lost about 15 pounds when COVID first hit and gyms shut down and gradually eased back in over the summer to get back to regular routines in the fall only to go back to seldom working out again with the new restrictions. I have been working out for so many years that I was quite surprised how much less hungry I was after not working out for a few months.
