Kinda quiet recently...

I haven't been blogging very much recently.

Why, you wonder?

• Well, the weather has just been beautiful since that storm blew through last weekend.
• And, the Giants are in the World Series!
• And I've been whiling away a few too many hours watching and playing games over at RedHotPawn
• And when it's not chess, I've been absorbed by XCOM Enemy Unknown. Unsure if it's the game for you? Try this fun review over at Rock Paper Shotgun, couched as the diary of a player:
  • XCOM: Diary Of A Wimpy Squad #1 – Meet The Team
  • XCOM: Diary Of A Wimpy Squad #2 – First Blood
  • XCOM: Diary of a Wimpy Squad #3 – Coinky-Dink
  • XCOM: Diary Of A Wimpy Squad #4: The Grilling
  • XCOM: Diary Of Wimpy Squad #5 – Bucket List
  • XCOM: Diary Of A Wimpy Squad #6 – Deacon Gray
• And when I'm not playing games, we've been mesmerized by Justified, the great new series on FX (written and produced by Elmore Leonard) about a modern-day U.S. Marshall with 19th century sensibilities
• And when I can barely keep my eyes open, I've been glued to Noah Gordon's The Physician, a story set a thousand years ago, with a passion that's fresh and vivid.
