The Queue: My end of the year Queue
This is the last Queue I’ll be writing in 2018.
It’s been a heck of a year, some good, some really bad. It’s finally over. Next year will, I hope and pray, be slightly better for all of us. I hope you all had a good holiday if you celebrated it, and if not, I hope your week has been peaceful.
Overwatch Season 14 will start just two hours after Season 13 ends — so can we please get an Unranked Competitive mode?

The Queue: Azeroth’s pending climate disaster, the end and the beginning
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. This was the first time Katie and I had the pleasure and honor of spending it with Max, our newborn. He came five weeks early and had some initial problems, and I thought the happiest day of my life would be when he was discharged from the NICU. I was mistaken though — it was the day after Christmas (when his grandparents got him an actual dragon mount), and we sat and listened to Puff the Magic Dragon. He calmed, the cat jumped up to snuggle with us, and as I had done 35-years ago, we were transported to the land of Honalee.
Music, imagination, fantasy, and storytelling are such a huge part of our lives for those of us reading these words, I couldn’t help but become awash in emotion as I realized we never really grew up — that we’re all Jackie Paper still keeping Puff’s might roar alive.
Let’s work to keep it that way.
