Social isolation day #672

(March 13, 2020 – January 14, 2022)

Simple observation: it is hard to believe that it has been approximately two years since we have eaten any takeout or dine in restaurant food. We used to go out for Sushi, Pizza, Thai, or Chinese at least once a week pretty much since I moved here and married my sweetheart.

Without hyperbole, I seriously wonder when (or if) we will ever dine somewhere that isn’t our house or the in-laws. I am thankful that the four of us are passable (me) to superior (mrs) cooks.

Current mood has been up and down. Squirrel cam and swampwalks have helped a great deal.

Was this just a filler monster, or did anyone actually encounter one of these in the last 40+ years of playing D&D ?

“The galltrit is a small winged gremlin with a nasty disposition.”  It will fly from its hidden dung pile lair, bite a victim undetected, and drain health and constitution until the target passes out and collapses.  (Alan Hunter, AD&D Fiend Folio, TSR, 1981)

Not sure what I like most about this page from Daredevil #48 (jan 1969)

The squish-squish of an admittedly greased up Daredevil from an evil robot’s grasp, or the robot doing a real time upgrade with a jiga-jiga click!

Social distancing day #670

Sisto and I go on our first swampwalk of 2022. Lots of downed trees, brown leaves and snow remnants.

Critter counts were low, a few squirrels, no kitties, not even many humans. Did see a friend working on the front stoop on his laptop, soaking up some good sun. The weather was pretty balmy, in the upper 40⁰F (much warmer than sub-freezing temps earlier this week)

January is rapidly moving into the rear view mirror. Hope everyone is keeping warm and dry as they like.
