			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I am absolutely thrilled to say that, over the last few weeks, I&#8217;ve actually found not just moments but hours of time for gaming. I haven&#8217;t found the time to play much of anythign during a solid half year of heavy involvement in two demanding musical productions at the local community theater, and I&#8217;ve missed [...]<br/>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I continue to be absorbed in an activity as geeky as gaming but with only limited intersection. Before the curtain fell on our last performance of  The Scarlet Pimpernel, I failed to resist the temptation to try out for the next musical being staged at the same theater, The Full Monty. I&#8217;m thrilled to say [...]<br/>
