Enterprise vs. Japan

While I'm at it here is a cool Youtube clip from Battle 360. It's the episode that you would see on TV by has been broken into 10ish minute clips. It covers the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal and how the carrier Enterprise participated in that deadly battle. Great Episode!

Off to Historicon???

Well, it's that time of year again and I'm going to head off soon to Historicon. It's a great convention and usually it's very close to Baltimore. This year it's in Valley Forge, PA. That's a bit of a haul for me.

My nephew Mike wants to go too. That's great news because he hasn't asked me to go to one of the conventions in a long time. When Mike was a little kid he went with me to every one of them and really enjoyed. Lately, however, he has gotten into the whole teen scene, jobs, and just basically being a young adult (hummm... what does that say about me! I'm almost 40 and I still go to the conventions)..

Anyway, my original plan was to go to Historicon and spend the night at a hotel so that I could get two days at the con. However Mike adds a bit more to the cost side of things. With it being summer money is tight for the family. I haven't decided whether or not to stay the night.

I guess I'll keep dwelling on it until I make-up my mind.

I am going to try to get into some of the Axis & Allies gaming there though. I really like the system and I want to try it out at a convention. That could mean a late night though!

Regardless, it's great that Mike wants to come! I really enjoyed having him with me in the past and I really look forward to this trip now!
