My sister got married this weekend, and after the wedding, our two families gathered on the
beach where they were married, and threw flowers from the bouquets into
the ocean, as a memorial for our family members who aren’t with us any
longer, and couldn’t be there to witness the ceremony.
I threw in a flower for my Aunt Val, who I miss more than anyone.

Well, you can’t exactly play with Acquisitions, Incorporated, but you can go on one of our adventures, because Wizards has put Storm Tower, the adventure that Chris Perkins wrote for the D&D/Penny Arcade/PvP/me podcast online.
Several WWdN readers who have temporarily joined us here in exile (*wave*), wrote in this morning to inform me that I’ve earned a spot in another Joy Of Tech comic. Clicky for teh funnay. I haven’t had time to see Serenity, yet. I was too busy to attend both of the screenings I was invited…
Whenever I write about and link to my brother’s photography, the positive feedback is just overwhelming. It seems that people all over the world love his work just as much as I do, and as a big brother that makes me put my hands on my hips and smile
I saw this video of Brent in Night Court on Reddit yesterday. Here’s one of the many memories it unlocked.
I guess the air date for the Star Trek episode of Family Guy was announced today , so the long wait for everyone who has been excited to see this (that includes me) is nearly at an end.
… “Well, if you’re going to do that,” he said, “then I’ll have to tell you that Next Generation is my favorite of all the Star Treks , and I’ve seen every episode about a thousand times.
… As I said after I worked on the show: I can’t divulge any specific story details, or give away any jokes, but there’s a gag with me that, if it makes it to the final cut of the episode, could quite possibly be the funniest thing I’ve ever done on television.
When I played on Saturday, something clicked in my brain, and all the games I’ve played, all the books I’ve read, all the studying I did to be a better player all came together, and I had one of those nights I’ve always heard about, where I could play without looking at my cards, as they say. … I signed my book for WWdN reader K, who was one of I think five readers who came out (this made me deliriously happy; over the 60 or 70 shows I did at ACME, I think 12 people ever came when I mentioned it on my blog, so getting about half of that number at one event was unexpected and totally awesome – thanks for coming if you were one of them!) … Under normal conditions, I’m not playing K6 to a raise in any position, but I wasn’t playing my cards , I was making a move , and even though it didn’t work out the way I wanted it to, I was happy with myself for having the guts to make it.

awwe. :'(
very pretty picture.
A beautiful idea. Peace.
And congratulations to your sister!
That’s a lovely tribute. Big congrats, Sister of Wil!
Yep, wonderful idea!
What a beautiful idea.
My husband’s father and my own had passed on before our wedding (mine a decade before, his only a couple years prior). During our ceremony, we had the mothers each carry a white rose up to the altar in their memory.
Brings back my own memories of ‘Just a Geek’ she sounded like a great lady. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful picture. If you ever decide to give up acting and writing, you could totally rock the photography world.
Not that I’d ever want you to give up either acting or writing. I’m just sayin’.
Hi Wil,
Brilliant and warm means to remember them. Sister nee Wheaton is a bright one!
I recall that we put a special message on our video – sort of a “We miss you” to our absent friends. Those who had passed and those who were too far to come. We ended up sending copies to the family of those who had passed, and to our friends and relatives who couldn’t make it. It was really appreciated.
In retrospect, I sure wish we had more ocean here in the midwest, so we could have done something like this.
A wonderful idea…
Best wishes to your sister!
1. Congrats to your sister!
2. That is such a wonderful memorial.
Thank you for sharing this moment with us.
What a great memorial. Gave me chills.
Wil,
Thank you for bringing part of your family to us.
A beautiful memorial.
A wonderful recognition of the sad and joyful times of our lives.
Thank you.
