100th post.

     All week, been thinking on this.  Silly I say to myself.  Tis the 100th entry shouldn't it be something?  Like what I reply, my coffee only stares.  I've looked at my earliest posts here.  Funny, after the last place was invaded.

     The thing in common is the silence of my readers.  I mean you're there and hopefully enjoying it.  Least I know it isn't distant relations keeping tabs.  In the earlier posts I lament the loss of my original cigar lounge.  I think I've kept the same tone throughout.

     I also remind myself that I must end my heart blog.  Kind of don't want to but it must be done.

     So maybe we'll peek into my life just a bit more in this blog.  To me it's a peek, maybe it's not to others.  Or maybe it will just be coherent. 

     Still thoroughly enjoying my online game.  Ultima Online.  I really do enjoy the Hell out of it.  Started playing the Ultima back when computers had floppy disks, from Ultima 1.  3 is still my all time favorite.  Story shortened when they no longer made it for my model I stopped playing.  I'd not get a computer again until the next century.  Now that is a statement!  Yup got my first actual online computer in 2000. 

     Somewhere in the mid 90's I had a chance to think about affording one.  But a kid I worked with got me off the idea.  His theory was that it would cost $2500 and be obsolete in a year and I'd have to do it over again.  I remember my actual thought.  "I just bought my car for $5000!"  I knew computers were out of my reach.

     In 2000 I entered the world of online stuff.  Rather unimpressed I must say.  I did find a chat room, where I made some friends.  That's another blog entirely.  The computer I used was a 3 sided monstrosity.   1 side was off so the modem card could be switched out.

     It was also a time when my mom was battling cancer, I'd moved back home, and was sober and such.  I was there to help and was the primary one, but this isn't about that either.

     At some point I was reunited with my game online.  I've enjoyed for 8 or 9 years.  A very relaxed style of play.  I tend to play more in Winter than Spring and Summer.  Every Fall I tell myself I'm going to get a new PlayStation.  While I wouldn't even be called a gamer, I still enjoy them and am glad to not have lost the urge in my 40's. 

     I usually play before work or sometimes at night, depending on plans.  Just thought, I never talk about what I do either.  May want to remember that.  Anyway that's my sharing perspective.  No don't really play with other people.  Just because I'm there for the pure fun.  Hard to describe.  I did hit a new shard where there seem to be some people that do fun things.  So who knows what the future holds.  Of course Spring is coming,  less time on the computer.

     I need to start seriously cleaning my home.  The others don't.  Also I seem to have lost my W-2 or 4, whichever it is you need for taxes.  So it's probably in the kitchen and I'll start there.  I'll be the only one eating at the kitchen table anyway.  Hmm?  Oh that.

     Brother in law usually brings my sisters dinner into her.  Then takes his to eat either in his room or in front of the kitchen.  So the table became a dumping area.  I let my end go recently to my detriment.  I will correct this.

     Then I need to clean this little cell I inhabit.  I truly have let it go as well.  And other errands today as well.

     I hope this has been a good 100th.  Have a good day.
