Giving a move off wordpress a go. So, I’m trying out Hugo which is a static site generator. There are a few kinks to workout, but hoping it makes it easier to post, and snappier. I’m also figuring out what to do about this vs. my personal website: rezinas.com. It’s quite new, but has a bit more of a …beerdrinking focus. But I dunno. There’s actually quite a bit of content in this little site.

Dang…it’s amazing what can change in three little years. I’m not going to recap it here now, but it’s been pretty mind-blowing. Some wonderful things have happened, some terrible things have happened. The amplitude has been high. And the nice thing is that I’m a better person for it, and in many ways, I’m in a better place. I’ve learned a lot about myself, and it’s helped to make my family closer, my relationships better, and life more authentic.

Like most people, I do my best thinking in the restroom. Quality time in the shower, meditating on a shave, reflecting on my day while brushing my teeth, or just relaxing, it’s a place where my mind has the opportunity to meander peacefully. Some of my most creative ideas have come to me while showering, and while taking my junior qualifying exam at Reed I figured out the path for two of the problems I was stuck on during restroom breaks.

**Introduction: **this is a campaign set loosely in The Forgotten Realms following on the heels of The Lost Mines of Phandelver. We are using D&D 5e. For the most part I’m just using maps from Forgotten Realms, some locations, and pivoting off some interesting parts that I’ve come across. This is a summary of the first two sessions that we had. Having vanquished the baddies of Wave Echo Cave, the party returns to Phandalin.
