I can barely stand up.  I&#8217;ve been limping through but finally went to see the doctor yesterday. I&#8217;m on orders not to life anything over ten pounds for the next five days.

I&#8217;ve been on high alert for so long that my brain and body just needed to completely recharge for a day.  My home teachers came over and administered a Blessing of Health.<\/p>\n<p>Friday I took my wife up to Salt Lake City for a &#8220;mega date&#8221;, an all-day outing.  We are like two starry-eyed lovers.  I picked up a book on business for a change of pace (ie no politics or economics).  I recommend a restaurant called &#8220;Thaiphoon&#8221; if you&#8217;re ever in the area.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday I made up for lost time at the office and also got in a game with sky-marshall Anonymo, Warriors of Chaos vs Lizardmen.  I shot some footage of that but only as a deployment strategy how-to.  Each army wins in a certain way.  WoC are not an army where you can prance around and wait for just the right moment to strike.  The proper strategy is to rush up with ultra-killy units and rip your opponents heart out and stick it on a barbed pike.  All other units in the army are disposable lackeys to help the killy stuff get into place.<\/p>\n<p>In the future, I&#8217;m going to take Saurus with spears.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some days back I pulled a muscle in my lower back.
