This doesn't mean they will let us play on hot-seat, but it's a starting point.

AE or time with wife/girlfriend....
AE or some 'cultural event'....
AE and 'maybe' sending the ladies shopping!!!

Sending the ladies shopping and for some *girl time* might end up backfiring and becoming a very expensive alternative but if it gives you time to play WITPAE... Dooo it!

Hi all, just to say that We are still alive!
Turns have slowed down a lot because of Erik travelling here in Italy and i being very busy with work.
However yesterday night we managed to meet each other in Venice: it was a great night!
We went eating in a very tipical venitian restaurant and we had a lovely dinner with our two ladies (who met each other for the first time). We had many tipical venitian plates and drank some good wine. Was really cool!

We even managed to talked a bit about our game, while our ladies talked about women's stuff.
We reviewed Erik's advance in the Marshalls and in the Solomons, the air battle for Rabaul, the strategical role of Torokina and Horn Island and the battle for India, with Erik complaining about his results at Patna and giving me the congratulations for the succesfull evacuation of Madras

We also talked a lot about GoT, exchanged theories about the "three heads of the Dragon" and about who really are Jon Snow's biological parents

Venice was magical, as always. Almost full moon and windy.

Oh my, what a good time! Tell me more about the food, was it liver+polenta, or sarde in saor? Damn I'm hungry.

's true, Venice is magical. In August 1980, I walked the temporary bridge over to Giudecca & heard a flute/oboe/organ concert at Il Redentore (the most beautiful church on the planet). The next night's fireworks were truly 'Apocalypse Now'!

Note to lovers: take your sweetheart to Venice. Wow her at Museo Correr, & the Peggy Guggenheim Collection. Propose marriage (or re-affirm your vows) at Il Redentore.

The first book pretty much screams it out; but does it really matter now? Stabbed in the back, he may live, and probably will, but Martin will probably never live long enough to finish the tale as it seems his interests have migrated elsewhere.

Unless he loses big at the racetrack.

The guys at HBO forced the ending out of Martin so they could finish the TV series in case he died suddenly. I guess Martin lost his motivation. Can�t say I blame him. He is financially set for the rest of his life (which is probably not many years left) so he probably have more fun things to do then sit inside and write a book.

I pretty much lost interest in the books after the 3rd book although I read them all.

I believe someone from HBO said that the series may veer from the books starting this year. Mostly because they know the broad outlines but not much detail and in any case the TV version is going to get ahead of the books at in the next couple of seasons. Great stuff. Easy to see it now but at the time it must have been quite a gamble that this would pay off. The unexpected this for me (husband and father of 3 daughters) is that the ladies like Game of Thrones as much as the gents do

Funny you should mention GoT. Of late I have been listening to the books on tape while I do my turns and work on my WitP pilot automation program. It's a good combo.

I think last year (maybe early) GJ's father died. At the same time, GJ's attorney work was getting pretty frantic. So he bowed out. Others (especially Obvert) can post in more detail.

I think there's a good chance GJ will return one of these days. I just think he will.

As for the community, I think it's alive and healthy. Alot of the old timers have gradually moved on (and we miss them dearly), but many newcomers have arrived. As best I can tell, there is more activity on the Forum today than ever before (except possibly immediately after release).

Speaking of books, go read those novels by Patrick Rothfuss. They're great.
