I'm getting a third post for February in just under the wire. Thank goodness it's a leap year. I've been traveling a lot recently, which has cut down on my play and blogging time. As I've mentioned, my younger two kids are both competitive swimmers. My middle son swims for his University, Carnegie Mellon, and my youngest swims for his local high school. I was in Chicago two weeks ago for my middle son's conference championships.
He finished 7th in his main event, the 50 Free, which was disappointing as he was leading at prelims. However, on his relays, one of his relays finished 2nd, and two of them finished 3rd, which was a good outcome. He has qualified for the NCAA National Championships in 4 events - the 50 Free, the 200 Free Relay, the 200 Medley Relay, and the 400 Free Relay. Those are happening in Greensboro, North Carolina, near the end of March.
Last weekend, my youngest son won the Ohio State Championship in the 50 Free and 200 Medley Relay. His team also finished 2nd in the 200 Free Relay. It was a fun weekend, and we're very proud of him.
In gaming news, I ran through the new Guild Wars 2 content on my Machinist. The story in this expansion continues to be pretty good, although I miss some of our old friends from earlier expansions. That's one thing that FFXIV does really well. The events in the zone are a lot of fun, and the storyline is challenging and engaging. I've also started through it on my Reaper, so we'll see how that goes.
In Elder Scrolls Online news, I continue to work on leveling those three alts. My Nightblade is at level 38, the Dragonknight is at level 38, and the Necromancer is at level 24. I'm continuing to work through Main Story Quests in their Zones and then doing the Daily Dungeon. I also tried doing the Daily PvP thing to see if the bonus xp from that would be worth doing. I may try it again, but I did two different battlegrounds and finished last both times, so I got no bonus xp. I did get a couple of decent pieces of gear, though.
Beyond that, I have yet to play World of Warcraft or FFXIV.
That's the update for this week! Cheers!
