P.S. Please send SPP my offer of prayers and best wishes. Please also point out that, when I suggested to SVC after his accident, that he should let someone else where the red shirt next time, I did not mean you SPP!

Is the 10% off PDF good on SJG Warehouse 23??

No, it's not good on W23 because their accounting system is a total mess.

We had a good week. Steve Petrick spent a lot of this week in the office and make progress on K-2025. I got the font suitcases done, and managed serious staff progress on several projects. I also did a bunch of work on ACTASF3 so that Albert can push that forward. I missed Thursday because of more skin cancer surgery. (I think this was #23 but I lost count long ago.) Steve Petrick reviewed Nick's PFT SSDs and sent him a list of fixes. I saw a memo go by that seemed to indicate some progress on replacing Shapeways.

Resting at home, the surgical shock from a three inch gash in my arm did not play well with my wildly unstable blood pressure and the iron poor blood thing causing dizziness and blackouts from oxygen deprivation. I will be back to the office Monday.

Great to hear that Steve P. is feeling well enough to spend some time there!
...and always love progress on the next steps for miniatures...

It's been a good week.
Albert and I have continued teaching him the histories and mysteries he will need to know to take over my job.
Albert is working on ACTA book 3. The book is "complete" but he's filling in missing stuff and collecting art.
I have been working on fiction, discussing a possible hard copy version of MERCHANTS OF THE FEDERATION, discussing a software project with my friend Hernan (handed over to Albert), discussing some new minis with a guy who showed up, and working with the SSD team to get the fighter mess cleaned up.
Steve Petrick has been working on Module K. All all help keep him focused so he doesn't spend all day explaining the 37 exceptions to a yes/no rules question.
Orders continue to flow out.
Jean had a breakthrough with Steve Jackson Games which got the technical issue with W23 almost fixed.
The Iron Poor Blood situation has problematic on some days and not that bad on others. I did take Wolfie on a short walk, just to the corner and back, first time in weeks. The pain in my side (a hernia that developed) has stopped but but it will still involve surgical repair during October or November.

Been an interesting time. Monday, I was working, Albert had appointments, Jean and Petrick were not feeling well, Leanna is retired and stayed home to clean house.
Today, Albert and Jean were working, I went home and took pain killers for the torn muscles in my belly, and Petrick collapsed during physical therapy and was hospitalized for low blood pressure, and Leanna was at the doctor four hours before getting to the end of a five-minute checkup.
More news when I have it.

Petrick is resting in the hospital as they do things to assess and correct his condition. He has notoriously hard to stick veins and they had to install a new needle in his neck. He isn't happy.

I wish I were in a position to make a meaningful and helpful difference.
Sadly, I can only offer my condolences for the troubles that you all feel.
In any case, my prayers are for all of you.

Sending positive thoughts for everyone!

Wednesday has been interesting so far, and it's only 11am. Petrick is still in the hospital, Albert and Jean have been exposed to covid so cannot be here at the same time as myself as I have too many risk factors, as does Petrick. He is in the hospital and likely to stay for a day or two more. I left the house early this morning to avoid the cleaning lady's regular visit, but now I'm going to have to get my work done in an hour or so and let Jean take over the place.

So far, Al and I have not shown any symptoms of Covid, but our friend's apartment mate got sick today. Fingers crossed we'll dodge the virus.

We appreciate your prudence in minimizing the risk to SVC

Leanna and I spent the day doing Friday’s errands. I went by the office briefly to check email, sign things, and give Jean a special award for her hard work (seven 1943 steel pennies). Friday we plan to spend the day watching the final Downtown Abbie movie. I hope we will at last get to go down town and meet the mysterious Abbie. To go see a movie i have to not drink or eat anything for at least twelve hours before the show. It will be worth being sick for the subsequent 24 hours if I finaaly find out why Abbie is down town and not on the estate.
| By Jessica Orsini (Jessica_Orsini) on Friday, September 12, 2025 - 08:12 am: Edit |
Oof. Best wishes for all!
| By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Friday, September 12, 2025 - 06:40 pm: Edit |
Great movie, never did meet Abbie. Good to see the marquesas put that countess in her place.
