Snow Update

All of her staples (all 25 of them) were removed last Monday. Her scar has healed up nicely, and she seems to be doing fine. I did feel a lump near the top of her scar and took her back to the vet, but he suspects it’s just scar tissue from the surgery.

I also asked what would happen if the cancer does come back and spread, and his sobering answer was: it would invade her lungs and make her breathing very labored.

Anyway, I’ve got an appointment for two weeks and will be taking her back every two weeks to make sure she is thoroughly checked out.

RPG Update

My Wednesday night game of The Puddle (using a customized Everway setting) is going swimmingly. I’m being mentored by a friend and very experienced GM in Michigan. Meanwhile, the players seem as motivated to play and as involved in the world as I could ever have hoped for. I certainly have made mistakes, and trying to introduce a new character (a replacement for a player who’s first character died) - I handled the situation ham-fisted. I hope to do a little repair tonight.

On the other hand, the players have begun to question their character’s motivation for the direction I’m leaning the story. So, under some mentorship, I’ve come up with an excellent way to reinvigorate them and show them that handling the plot as presented is fully inline with their character’s motivations as well as their own self-interest.
