The Secret Bread Empire: Is Kevin Dying Of Cancer?

http://thesecretbreadempire.blogspot.com/2011/08/is-kevin-dying-of-cancer.html

The Secret Bread Empire. Musings of a Secret Master in his Down Under Sanctum. Sunday, 14 August 2011. Is Kevin Dying Of Cancer? Possibly. (But probably not.). I have been diagnosed with prostate cancer. A lot of it, actually. When they did a biopsy of my prostate, they took samples from 16 different areas of the organ. 14 of them had cancer cells! You see, in the minds of most people, Cancer = Death. The idea of lifelong incontinence problems sounds like a real drag. I am glad that the odds are very...

The Secret Bread Empire: A C-Word(s) Update (Cancer, Child, Christmas)

http://thesecretbreadempire.blogspot.com/2013/12/a-c-words-update-cancer-child-christmas.html

The Secret Bread Empire. Musings of a Secret Master in his Down Under Sanctum. Wednesday, 25 December 2013. A C-Word(s) Update (Cancer, Child, Christmas). Wow, has it really been two years since I've written anything of importance on this blog? I don't think using a post as a placeholder to sell games counts as "important".) Time can zip by when you're living life, I guess. Anyway, it seemed like a good time to check in and give a status report on some of the bigger things in my life:. Small In any event...

The Secret Bread Empire: I'm virtually asocial!

http://thesecretbreadempire.blogspot.com/2008/12/im-virtually-asocial.html

The Secret Bread Empire. Musings of a Secret Master in his Down Under Sanctum. Wednesday, 24 December 2008. I was thinking the other day about the irony of being a social/talkative person who spends a LOT of time on the internet but seems almost incapable of participating in any sort of digital correspondence (email, forums [fora], this blog, etc). But the real crux of the matter for me is talking vs. writing. I'm pretty comfortable with talking. (Some - many? Of my friends would say I'm too comfortable&...

The Secret Bread Empire: A Song For Zuperfliegen

http://thesecretbreadempire.blogspot.com/2011/04/song-for-zuperfliegen.html

The Secret Bread Empire. Musings of a Secret Master in his Down Under Sanctum. Friday, 29 April 2011. A Song For Zuperfliegen. Ann recently posted a couple of songs for Zupe on her blog. You can find them here. So I thought I should share a song that has meant a lot to me for many years - well before I ever thought I would have a child, in fact. It was written by David Bowie for his newly-born son, Zowie (or, more fully, Duncan Zowie Hayward Jones) and I think it's beautiful. Kevin S. O'Brien. BoardGameG...

The Secret Bread Empire: A Cancer Update: My Surgery Is Scheduled For December 8

http://thesecretbreadempire.blogspot.com/2011/10/cancer-update-my-surgery-is-scheduled.html

The Secret Bread Empire. Musings of a Secret Master in his Down Under Sanctum. Sunday, 30 October 2011. A Cancer Update: My Surgery Is Scheduled For December 8. Still, it does underscore the fact that all forms of treatment (and even non-treatment) are just a roll of the dice, and we make the best decisions we can based on the probabilities as we understand them. Yes, I know that some of you are thinking "$10,000 is nothing. Would you pay $20,000? For the rest of your life? So if the line is going to be ...

The Secret Bread Empire. Musings of a Secret Master in his Down Under Sanctum. Thursday, 10 January 2013. LAST CHANCE (possibly) to buy these games from me! OK, it's been a year since I sold a bunch of games and two years since my MASSIVE game sell-off. So it's time to greatly thin the game herd once more. UPDATE: The Australian Year End Math Trade has ended and I've still got a number of games available for sale. I've updated the list below accordingly. Here's what's listed below:. 5 Typical "god" rules...

The Secret Bread Empire. Musings of a Secret Master in his Down Under Sanctum. Sunday, 21 November 2010. I was a Guest of Hono(u)r! On Wednesday, 20 October, 2010, I caught a plane for the USA so that I would be able to attend Shock Around The Clock, an annual 24-hour horror film marathon in Columbus, Ohio, that was happening that weekend (23-24 October). The organisers of the event - all of whom I consider to be friends - graciously invited me to attend as a Guest of Honor (Honour, for Australians!

The Secret Bread Empire: Parenting Zuperfliegen: Four-Months-Plus In

The Secret Bread Empire. Musings of a Secret Master in his Down Under Sanctum. Sunday, 14 August 2011. Parenting Zuperfliegen: Four-Months-Plus In. Zuperfliegen recently turned four months old. Over the past couple of months, several friends have asked me how things were going. I have typically given a very short summary and added "I plan to write a more complete response soon". This blog entry is an attempt to finally do just that. 1) He is smiling! 3) He also seems much more aware of his environment&#4...
