Its that time of year to get ready for Historicon. My ride down is arranged, hotel room booked and entry fee paid. Theme is the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution. So plenty of special games for the period. But I am especially excited by the group of top notch speakers about the American Revolution that they have this year. Todd Braisted, John U. Rees, Gregory Urwin, Don Hagist, Douglas Cubbison, Thomas Maguire and David C. Bonk are experts in the field. I have books by all of them and to actually hear them speak, and actually meet them is to me beyond words exciting. Guess I have a simple life 😋
