A day late again. But I was holding off on the hopes there would be some official announcement on my newest project that I could trumpet to the proverbial heavens. Alas, only rumors remain&#8230; though the rumors are swirling, particularly over at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.toruniverse.com\/2010\/09\/03\/drew-karpyshyn-to-write-the-old-republic-novel-3\/\">TOR universe<\/a>. Of course, I can&#8217;t comment on said rumors. At least, not yet.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>But I kind of needed the extra day off to recover from VEGAS, BABY! I actually came back with money in my wallet on this trip. I kicked some serious ass at the cash tables in poker, held my own in blackjack and made a nice little recovery in craps after getting crushed the first couple days.<\/p>\n<p>My golf game, however, was a mess. I&#8217;ve got some kind of sciatic\/hamstring\/hip pain going and I&#8217;m not hitting the range enough. Sucks, because I just shaved a couple strokes off my handicap in the last couple months (down to a 7.1, thanks for asking). Now I&#8217;m going to creep back up if I can&#8217;t figure out how to stay sharp while hitting\u00a0less balls. (Okay, everyone who isn&#8217;t a golfer get your filthy minds out of the gutter!)<\/p>\n<p>I also had an update from the fine folks at the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.eucantina.net\/\">EU Cantina<\/a> on the progress of my website redesign. It&#8217;s looking good&#8230; good enough that I might finally be able to remove a couple questions from my\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.drewkarpyshyn.com\/faq.htm\">FAQ<\/a>page. (Check it out if you don&#8217;t know what I mean. It&#8217;s somewhere near the bottom. You&#8217;ll know it when you see it.)<\/p>\n<p>So, between the new website and the big announcement there&#8217;s a lot of cool stuff coming down the pipe. Plus, the NBA season is starting up again. (Good thing, because the Chargers are stinking it up right now. But I still think they can turn it around.)<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m pretty stoked for the NBA season, because I think the Spurs are poised to make a good run this year. They&#8217;re a little under the radar, which is right where I like to see them. Let the Lakers and Heattake\u00a0all the headlines; we&#8217;ll see who&#8217;s still standing in June.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, that&#8217;s it for now. If you sent me an e-mail, just\u00a0be\u00a0patient. As always, I&#8217;m a couple weeks behind and trying to catch up.<\/p>\n<p>Drew<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know, I know. A day late again.
