Once upon a time...

...there were two gamers. They geeked out together mostly over their love of Star Wars, but the most miraculous part of all was that one was male and the other was female. So, in typical geek fashion, they jumped in feet first and explored their differences, thoroughly. Nine months later, a little gamer joined them, and started demanding his own computer and copy of Star Wars. (Okay, he was demanding milk and diaper changes, and the occasional burp, but his tastes have refined since then.)

Yes, that's right. Nine years ago today (in the oh-my-gods-awful bright and early morning, at a time when all good gamers are passing out and drooling on their keyboards or resting their joysticks somewhere embarrassing) our son was born. Our house is going to be filled with cake and singing and celebration today...which means I'm going to have to cram in all the Argent Tournament poking I can while he's in school.

No time for blogging! We're having a birthday!
