Last Thursday gave Wordplay using the 'Fish Rain' Gloranthan scenarios from HeroQuest. As expected, the game ran extremely well and I must confess some preference for WP over HQ. On Sunday continued the now very long running RuneQuest Prax story, with the appearance of the Magus Artalen from the Strangers in Prax sourcebook. Tomorrow night will run a session of D&D3.5 for Ralis.

On Sunday gave the service for Dr. James Brown who spoke at the Unitarians on alternative energy. His approach was realistic, providing precise and contextually appropriate values for solar and wind power as well as their limitations. Afterwards ran a session for the Philosophy Forum (surprisingly very well attended) on the nature, cause and solutions to violence; the wide variation in social metrics indicating a heavy environmental rather than natural causes. It will dovetail very well with next month's discussion on Hannah Arendt. There was a degree of local context as a visitor to the Church assaulted an 83-year old congegation member a couple of weeks previous; I'm in the process of ensuring that said visitor never be allowed to step foot in the building again.

On Tuesday had two exams for my MBA; Marketing and Managing Information Systems. These are considered two of the more advanced subjects in the programme and sitting six hours of exams in one day is pretty heavy going. Nevertheless I am fairly sure I passed (probably with a Credit grade overall) and as such will be awarded a Graduate Certificate in Management. Next step is the Graduate Diploma and then the MBA itself.

When something crazy happens inside the walls of the church it's always so peculiar. I never know how to feel. That's supposed to be a safe place. I hope the member you mentioned is okay.

Said elderly gent is in fine condition, he's pretty damn fit for his age. Still, he sported a shiner for a few days.

There is some members of committee who have argued that because we're a public building we can't ban anyone. I don't think that's right (morally or legally).
