Thanks for the compliment on my writing. It gives me a good outlet for my creativity sometimes and it's actually one of the reasons I like playing a bard.

And I know what it's like to have limited time to play that has to be negotiated with a spouse and children. I think my hubby and I have it worked out finally, but mine is limited to about 2 hours a night too and a bit more on the weekends, if he is otherwise occupied. While it makes it hard sometimes, especially when some major thing is going on and then I have to log off in the middle of it, it also keeps me from ever getting bored...I always want to come back and play. :)
