I'm going to be away from my computer, possibly for a couple of days.
Please feel free to drive the bus wherever you want to go.

Don't wait for a response from me.  I'll jump back in as soon as I can.

Regarding the survey, Pesky is definitely an A.

He likes the time with family, but mostly likes that he's out of school and gets to play with his friends.

Sort of A but with the emphasis on food rather than family or friends. :P Though, she's found ways to have fun with them too.

Sorry for the delays in posting, my throat has been terrible for the last couple of weeks.

Anyway, Kevin likes Thanksgiving and remembers the wonderful time when his entire family turned a normal chess tournament — which only one of his parents usually attend to save travel expenses — the week of Thanksgiving in New York into a family vacation so they could celebrate the holiday and watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade together in person.

I'm getting holiday clobbered with work, travel, and life, so am gonna need to take a break until I get past Christmas.  Should be back on before the end of the year.

Hope everyone has a great holiday season.  Look forward to picking up the game again soon.

Thanks for letting me know. I know this time of year is hard.

Just so everyone knows, the game is still on. Kevin, can I split the thread so that you are in a new thread?

I'm still sick, so can't post very much either, but ok.

Was that supposed to be Jimmy or Leonard answering?

I knew that might happen! Ok, play it out as if Leonard answered even though Sara looked at Jimmy. There is a method to this madness.

Hi all!
Just wanted to pop in and say hello :)

Also, I'm not sold on this portrait, but it was the best I could find...
RPoL doesn't have many girl child options :/ any suggestions welcome!

(I would have sworn I'd replied sooner, I probably forgot to actually click through to post the message. But, better late than never!)

Welcome, Emmaline-Belle!

And yeah, I've noticed that too when I was setting up a character in another game. There are a few boys, but not many girls as far as kid portraits go on here.

Thanks for the welcome Kevin :)

Hey folks -

I've been completely out of it for the last month.  My dad has been in the hospital since the middle of December and things have been nuts.  He's still in the hospital but doing better, so I should be able to post again.

Storyteller: I saw how my thread was left open-ended and really appreciate it.  I'll post as often as I can and try to let you know of any extended absences.

Thanks -

Welcome back and I hope the best for you and your family at this time. We can keep going at the pace that fits.

How long do we have until Halloween?

In reply to Peter 'Pesky' Eskind (msg # 24):

Look after yourself Peter, and I hope things go as smoothly as possible for you and your dad

Thanks for the well-wishes.  I really appreciate it.

I'm going on holiday tomorrow, so my posting is likely to be slow and sporadic until next weekend, sorry!

Have a good holiday, Em!

And wow, my throat is going to be sore for a few days after dictating that monster of a post, I think.

Just realized I made a mistake in Kevin's story, but I'm going to leave it in because even eidetic memory doesn't necessarily mean entirely infallible. :-)

Awesome posts guys! Keep it up. Look forward to everyone's responses. And thanks so much for letting everyone know your schedules.

The answer to the survey is:

 A) Pizza

Absolutely pizza for Pesky.

Pizza too. :)

throat on the mend, but not ready to do full post yet. Sorry! :( Will post ASAP.

My dad passed away.  I'm gonna be out for a little while dealing with everything.
I'll back as soon as I can.
Thanks -
