Of late I have been doing everything except gaming and posting.  I am not going to go into tons of personal details, but my dad is pretty sick, as is my geriatric cat.<\/p>\n<p>I have been reading \u201cGame of Shadows\u201d ? a fairly interesting read, but you have to wonder about the credibility of an ex mistress.  I don\u2019t doubt for a minute that a ton of folks were on something, including Bonds, so it is not as if everyone should be surprised.<\/p>\n<p>Remus \u201cMing Fu\u201d (my Shih Tzu) likes beer.  Not sure why that is important to write about right now, but it is pretty funny.  He accidentally knocked over a beer bottle one night, and enjoyed lapping in the mess.  Now he intentionally knocks over my beer at every opportunity.  So he is trying for a beer right now while I am watching Team USA\u2019s lackluster performance vs. Jamaica (1-1 at the half).<\/p>\n<p>I keep thinking I am going to have some gaming time at some point soon, but there is always another something in the way.  I have tons of stuff to play and write about when I get around to finding the time.<\/p>\n<p>Not sure what the last post (Chris\u2019 previous Just to be Clear) is about, but I remember the days when publishers\/reviewers asked if I would give their game a \u201cfavorable\u201d score if I was provided with a review copy, interview, or other such collateral.  Chris can probably go into more details than I can, but the game review industry can be rather disenchanting.  My game reviewing days are long behind me.<\/p>\n<p>Chris, thanks again keeping things up and running.<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to Chris for keeping the action fresh around here.
