I am back in action. My blogging hiatus is complete. I finished my masters degree in Theology (inadvertently boosting the "priest" element of this blog), completed the USAF's instructor pilot course in the C-130J, and (most importantly) we had our first kid, Molly.
This blog will henceforth be exclusively pictures of my adorable daughter.
Just kidding.
Fatherhood and instructorhood are treating me well, although my sleep-to-wake ratio seems to have changed forever.
I now play WoW and Clash of Clans, and only in-between time spent with my wife and daughter, and when I'm not on base. I no longer raid, but I am an avid garrison developer, and I am leveling my fourth character to 100.
Remarkably, I recovered my oldest WoW account, the one I played when vanilla launched! My original priest is still there! That means I now have a character with full Tier 3 (Transcendence) gear and the ultimate priest mantlepiece, Benediction/Anathema. I am in priest transmog nirvana. So few priests can tout those old pieces, and almost none can claim that they got Tier 3 when it was the top gear in the game. Ahh, the old days.
I will be blogging about gaming with sporadic schedules, mobile gaming with Clash of Clans, and a LOT of WoW strategies for "fire and forget" gaming. "Fire and forget" is a reference to air-to-air missiles which a pilot can launch and then ignore due to autonomous guidance systems. In WoW, this includes follower missions and garrison buildings. In CoC, just about everything other than active attacking is considered fire and forget.
Stay tuned for more updates! I'll be sharing about my first paladin, Smoogepal, which was my first character to hit 100 thanks to the free character boost which came with WoD. I'll be talking about the fantastic crafted items which are making my hunter, Smoogehunt, a force to be reckoned with. And, I'll be talking about the best ways I've found to capitalize on the WoW economy when you only have minutes to log in at a time.
And, in my normal fashion, I'll weave in parallels from my career as an Air Force pilot, where I am now an instructor, flight commander, and soon (hopefully) to be a Major.
