Peeking behind the curtains

First and foremost - CONGRADULATIONS are in order to Mary and Noah! On Saturday they become the proud parents of Michale Scott A., baby and mom are doing fine - dad is more insane than normal. But all told I'm estatic for them!!! Those two are going to make great parents and I HOPE they write that book: Parenting D20 style ;-)

Beyond that life has been mundane (almost) caught a concert series on Saturday with Scott, bands of note (that were good) The Arcade Fire and The Killers. Bands of note NEVER to see live in concert again - Modest Mouse (I like their music it just did NOT translate to stage at all). That was cool, Noah happened to call in the middle of one of the intermissions to let me know about his joyous news! It was a good concert.

Sunday I stopped by the Ren. Faire for one last time this season. It's really a lot of fun and I'm seriously considering being a player next year. Did vaguely make some romantic overtures towards a young lady, who in classic me messing up with women, happened to already be happily married. Doh! Well no harm, no foul and generally seems to be the way the world works for me. Did get some awesome pictures of the whole thing though, and I hope people enjoy them.

In the Wizard of OZ there is the man behind the curtain, the one pulling the strings of what people can actually see. As I grow older I keep getting peeks behind that curtain at how the world really is, sometimes I laugh, sometimes I cry and a lot of the time I have to slightly re-adjust my view of the world. I got another glimpse behind the curtain tonight.

All I can say is the workings behind the curtain are a lot more interesting and complex than the facade would have you think.
