    As this auto-posts on the HQ, the second night is over, and I'm almost home to my honey!! Just one night left now, and then I can go home to my beloved Effie!!! Lord, I can't wait!! Effie, baby, I love you!!! I'll be home for coffee tomorrow morning, honey!!

     This is also an anniversary for us, in a way. My lovely Effie and I have been married five months now, which means we're closing in on a half-year already together as husband and wife. Lord, I've never been happier than I am with my Sweet Gal!! Happy Anniversary, baby!

     When I woke up yesterday afternoon, I realized I had missed my usual Ides of March feature on the Vent, missing the two thousandth fifty-fifth anniversary of the event. Things were a bit hectic the last couple days of the weekend, and I didn't get the chance to plug in the usual Julius Caesar links. And there were some pretty good ones posted on Reddit, too. To wit, I didn't know that Julius Caesar was boinking Brutus' Mom... Guess that adds a whole new, non-political dimension to the 'unkindest cut of all'. I suppose Shakespeare really couldn't have made Brutus orate, 'And wherefore Caesar was putting the blocks to my Mom, therefore I slew him', and still make him look like an honorable man, lol.  

    I blogged earlier in the week that there had been no gaming at home. Actually, that's not strictly true. I had the distinct pleasure of watching my stepson, Chris, Sr., running through his paces on Modern Warfare 3 Ground War and Free-for-all on the Xbox. After one kinda bad tune-up match, he did pretty dang well. I always enjoy watching gameplay, and watching it live is a lot of fun for me still. Even if it did keep me from helping my Sweet Gal much on getting dinner ready that night, lol. Moving on...
