Happy Mother’s Day

Being a brand new dad has attuned me to Mother’s Day. I used to obey when my father told me to get my mother a gift, but that’s because there was the threat of phys­i­cal vio­lence if I didn’t. That turned into a habit, but I never really got it. Ah, parenting.

If you already under­stand Mother’s Day before becom­ing a par­ent your­self, then I raise a toast to you. If you don’t under­stand it or sim­ply go through the motions like I did, all I can say is that you’ll get it as soon as you have kids. I’ve already called my mother to apol­o­gize for not under­stand­ing it sooner. She laughed at me.

So Happy Mother’s Day every­one, espe­cially to gamer moms and writer moms.

(Yes, this is a day late. I thought it defeated the pur­pose if I took part of her Mother’s Day to write a post on my blog about Mother’s Day. So my new-mom wife got the whole day. Part of that day was giv­ing her a crafted [Belt of Deep Shadow]. You might chuckle, but she loved it, and it was a large upgrade over her Nether­storm blue quest­ing belt. And yes, there was a real-life gift as well.)

More Words!

    The real ques­tion is what gems you put in the sock­ets. No mat­ter what they told you at the ven­dor, Del­i­cate Tour­ma­lines are not forever.
