There's nothing like having a sick kid in the house. I'm sure that means I'm going to be sick soon as well.

Any advice on how to keep yourself healthy while you're taking care of someone who is under the weather?

Podracing. It's amazing, especially when you win. It's nice to see that even in my dreams I'm still one of the best pilots in the galaxy.

Now that I have my bar staffed up again I can focus on some of the fun things I've been planning! Since our last oil wrestling tournament went so well (we raised $2,000 on short notice for local veterans), I've been thinking about making it a permanent thing. There would be a small purse for the winners, with the rest of ticket sales going toward charity.

We're thinking of having two leagues, essentially, one for men and one for women. If we can't get enough participants of one gender we'll figure something else out.

What I need from you, Valarnetwork people, is participation! We'll accept anyone in good physical health who can commit to a tournament once a month. We'll open the space up for practice the rest of the time, and the rent would be very reasonable per hour. There's a $50 sign up fee, and after that you'll just have to show up. This is going to be my favorite tax write off

Where does one go to meet people, exactly? That isn't some sort of bar or night club, mind you. Those things aren't really my cup of tea.

But I've been wanting to branch out and make new friends, and that sort of thing, but I'm not certain where to start!

Perhaps I could start a book club? Hmm...

Sometimes I do this and leave it for Robert before work.

He doesn't think it's nearly as funny as I do.

It seems my dreams always take me to Germany. You know, I thought it couldn't get weirder than running around German in the forties, trying to stop a disgraced Nazi scientist, but apparently I thought wrong.

Super wrong.

Also, it's ... Strange, to have everyone there know who I am, even seventy years after I vanished. Being a role model and sort of a piece of Americana is bizarre.

I forgot to post about which dog I decided to go with and now that all the paper work is done and he's at home. I would like you all to meet Wilson Binx. My cats are quite skeptical of having a dog in the house, but I think they'll come around. He's fairly young so he's all about trying to play with them and I'm having a hell of a time watching them. It's taking a lot of self restraint from taking a lot of videos of them.

Gotta get him into training and hopefully I'll be able to have him come to the clinic soon enough.
