…I was at the Interaction 19 conference as one of Friday’s speakers last week. My plan was to fly home Saturday and spend Saturday night and Sunday playing some sweet Minecraft to spin down from the conference.

Then it snowed. And Seattle doesn’t really do well with large amounts of snow.

So I didn’t come home Saturday and by the time I got home Sunday night I was too tired to do much other than fall into bed.

Since I work for a living, and I’m busy writing a workshop for World IA Day Pittsburgh, I’m probably not going to get a chance to log on and play until the weekend at the earliest.

So we’re on hiatus, but we’re coming back. Just not tonight.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and auld lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my jo,
for auld lang syne,
we’ll tak’ a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

And surely ye’ll be your pint-stoup!
and surely I’ll be mine!
And we’ll tak’ a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

For auld lang syne, my jo,
for auld lang syne,
we’ll tak’ a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

We twa hae run about the braes,
and pou’d the gowans fine;
But we’ve wander’d mony a weary fit,
sin’ auld lang syne.

For auld lang syne, my jo,
for auld lang syne,
we’ll tak’ a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

We twa hae paidl’d in the burn,
frae morning sun till dine;
But seas between us braid hae roar’d
sin’ auld lang syne.

For auld lang syne, my jo,
for auld lang syne,
we’ll tak’ a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

And there’s a hand, my trusty fiere!
and gie’s a hand o’ thine!
And we’ll tak’ a right gude-willie waught,
for auld lang syne.

For auld lang syne, my jo,
for auld lang syne,
we’ll tak’ a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

Side note for those of you reading One Among the Dead: a bunch of the posts between day 88ish and today were missing their sketches. This oversight has been corrected. So if you like seeing horrible sketches of Minecraft-like characters terrorizing a confused protagonist, go reread.
