Caduceus's blog

Well, we were supposed to go away for the weekend to a meeting in Charleston, SC. Hannah's going to get in the way of that, so we're at the "backup" location, Greenville.

 

I live in the Upstate, so that's not a far drive, but the wife had been looking forward to a real weekend away from the kids, now it will just feel like a day trip.

Our last weekend away was in 2005, Katrina hit 3 days beforehand.  I know it is selfish, but I was looking forward to time away.

 

Alright, I admit it, I bought a PSP just to play this and Jeanne d'Arc.

That being said, I do like turn-based RPGs and wanted to see what all the hubub was about.

The Story

It seems I can't walk by a used game store without perusing old titles and picking up one or two if they hit that sweet spot under $20.  They are usually RPG's of epic proportions - 40+ hours.

I have half a dozen that I haven't cracked yet - Dragon Quest VIII, Rogue Galaxy, Persona FES, Radiata Stories, Xenosaga I & II (I'll get III when I see it in a bargain bin, for completeness' sake) and probably a couple of others.

Anyone else have this problem?

I am spending all day doing a module for the maintenance of my certification through the American Board of Family Medicine.

They estimate it will take 10-15 hours.  Usually they take me around twenty.

Ooog.

Everyone has the cough today (except me).  I was standing in my office at about 8:15 when my wife called me to come home as she couldn't stand up without feeling faint and coughing her head off.  So we're homebound today.

The kids have been sick for a few days, getting a little better, though the little on is still draining green/yellow snot.  I put her on Amoxil since she had a fever.  The older one is recovering pretty well.  Hopefully my wife will be better so I can go back to work tomorrow.

Woo!

Well, I have been browsing for a new car on and off.   The 1999 Jetta runs fine, but has some gremlins in the electrical system that we can't seem to work out, and the front bumper gets caught on curbs all the time.

I have looked at the responsible stuff - Camry, Corolla, Accord, Civic.  Then I saw the Mazda RX-8.  I need four seats occasionally, otherwise I'd look at the S2000. 

I should go with the responsible stuff, but I really want to drive the RX-8.  Pretty, sporty.
