He Gary, I got an idea for you:
I don't know if you've spotted the thread floating around on the General Board, but one of ENWorld's members, The Jester, is travelling all over the U.S. seeing places he's never seen and meeting people he's never met, including many ENWorlders.
From what I've seen, he is also stopping over to stay with some of these folks, sleeping on their couch and gaming with them.
This got me thinking that when you feel in the mood for a several month vacation, what you need to do is get yourself an RV and drive all over the country meeting people from the boards and sitting in on their games for a session. I suggest the RV because you probably don't want to have to sleep on anybody's couch (the older I get, the less attractive sleeping on any couch but my own has become). But maybe everybody you visit could make you dinner or something like that.
Now I say this sort of half jokingly, but it would be one of the coolest things I can imagine to see you journey all over the country and getting to actually experience gaming with dozens of groups who owe one of their favorite hobbies to you. And hey, if you retire like this, you might never pay for a meal again.
Who needs Social Security when you've got an RV and huge fans?
Anyway, I thought of this on a whim and just thought I'd toss it out there. But if you do decide to do it, put me first on the list. Ok?
I've got the Bombay Gin just waiting for you (yeah, I'm that guy).
