Smooth Fingers

 My fingers are smooth with Gorilla Glue, the result of terrain building. They are nice set pieces, those ruins of Gondor, one of the trophies of my recent re-read of The Lord of the Rings. I haven’t yet figured out what comes next, though hopefully it doesn’t take me too long.

 My reading pipeline is narrow with harsh joints. It didn’t used to be, though I don’t recall how I kept things flowing. It probably helped that I worked in libraries and saw books come and go on a daily basis. You start to intuit which ones are good to read and scoop them up. Now I resort to “editor’s picks” or best-seller lists, the top recommendations of the New York Times, Amazon, random Google searches. My recent selections have left me wanting something more. Tolkien’s story excluded, of course.

 I’ll figure something out. Until I do, there’s always my stack of Games Workshop rulebooks to peruse.
