Nope. I still love me.  :smitten:

We have to be in in Detroit tomorrow night to fly out to California early Monday for vacation, and with work wasnt able to get away Thursday and Friday. Today we were celebrating Fathersday and my dads birthday.

in case you're wondering what the raffle looked like

the crowd at the raffle was about half of what he had last year, which was disappointing b/c we had more players in the games than last year  :wow:

Origins is a blast and I'm already thinking about next year. The only complaint I have for my first one is I didn't stay the entire time. It was great to meet everyone in person.

Great stuff! Looks like I missed yet another good time.

And was that a raffle of oil paintings or an audience? ;)
