Well, for starters, consider all the folks who attend Dragon*Con, ComiCon, and all of the other fantasy, science fiction, science, and role-playing gaming conferences all over the world.
I can see the question in your eyes: Even at science conventions?
Yes, indeed.
Even those who are not familiar with the game created by Sam Kass and Karen Bryla close to two decades ago, can enjoy its similarity to grade-school activities. The game has recently gained a new life, a second wind. My many thanks to the writers of The Big Bang Theory for bringing this into my world!
Not only into my world, but into that of my chemistry fraternity brothers! Yesterday, as the 52nd Biennial Conclave was winding down, a talent show was held.
No, I'm not refering to Scott Wilson and his bagpipes, though the man certainly does deserve props for the entertainment he provided at various interludes. Yep, he would whip out his bagpipes and lay down some tunes!!! Da iawn! Dea ceol!
But he did not incorporate "rock paper scissors lizard Spock" into a talent performance. That was done by one of the nine (mostly) collegiate groups. That was fun!!!
So, for those not in the know, here's how it goes.
Scissors cut Paper.
Paper covers Rock.
Rock crushes Lizard.
Lizard poisons Spock.
Spock smashes Scissors.
Scissors decapitate Lizard.
Lizard eats Paper.
Paper disproves Spock.
Spock vaporizes Rock.
And, as always, Rock crushes Scissors.
I am so glad to not be alone in my adoration of this game... and also of my boys of physics, science nerds that they are.
Wa Hoo Wa!!!

The absolute, most sure-fire way of physically moving in the direction of your dreams, Faustina, on a day-to-day basis, without messing with the "cursed hows," is living them, now, to any degree that you can.
And you so can -

I most certainly will, Damon! I sent him a photo last week of you with Dylan and Carissa. I'm sure he and I will talk about it.

Christina Woods already told me to pass along her greeting to Tony, as well. Maybe I will tell him Mary, Smitty, and Tyler say hello, too!

Damon Smith
Good im sure it will bring a much needed smile

Robin Ritenour Jenkins
I think that would be good and is what they would want too!!!

Tina, please let Tony know to expect a long awaited letter from me, but, that he is still in my heart and prayers. I've missed him dearly every day!

Christy Ward-Parker
Tell him we said hello...

Faustina Smith
We had a very good visit, even though the folks at Hays State Prison messed up and called the wrong Smith to the visitation room. So, we both missed out on an hour of time, but I think we made up for it and made the most of what time we did have.
He was delighted to hear all of the greetings from home, y'all. Thanks!
