Starting Over

So this used to be a gaming blog - now that the game is over, I've decided to re-purpose this blog to my other (real) life.

So what prompted this? Two things really.

My youngest son was recently diagnosed with Aspergers - a form of autism. You can't tell from where you are, but there was a long pause after that last sentence. My wife and I are trying to come to grips with this, and it is proving hard. I am not a great talker, so it is hard for me to speak rationally about something like this. I try too much just to solve the problem, and that isn't really an option. So, I'm writing to see if that helps me work out my feelings. Feelings aren't something I'm very good at.

So the second thing is actually my friend Ed's trip to India, and more specifically his writing about it. I don't get to see Ed enough, so reading his blog (elinder.livejournal.com) helps me keep in touch with him. I haven't told anyone about this blog, so it isn't really helping me keep in touch with anyone - except maybe myself.

Enough for now - next time Real Content! (no promises)
