[QUOTE="Kanegrundar, post: 2328128, member: 3913"] I can tell you, Moogle, that my free time has dropped ever since I got engaged. I'm a homeowner now, that means the occasional repair, the occasional upgrade, lots of yardwork, and so on. I drive an hour to work everyday (one way). That takes a lot out of me especially when I sometime don't get home until 8 or 9 at night after being up since 5:30 AM. My job demands a lot out of me, so there are quite a few times when I'm staying late either training new employees on the night shift I manage (on top of the day shift that I work with) or just catching up on my regular work. My soon-to-be wife is a middle-school band instructor, so I'm constantly going with her to band booster meetings, concerts, and such. Needless to say, my freetime is down to a few hours a week, which I ususally spend with my fiancee. Heck, last weekend, I only had an hour or so to spend on WoW! Now, my grandfather is splitting his time between the hospital and the nursing home, and it doesn't look good. My freetime is non-existant now. I want to be able to make a regular game. I'd love to run a regular game again, but I barely have enough time to develop a couple pages of campaign information in a month to even think about that. I don't consider this childish, it's just a lot going on in a small space of time. There are things going on now that are a LOT more important than killing orcs and dragons. Kane [/QUOTE]
