The Blitz is my club and community. It is a hideaway sanctuary for me and my fellow war gamers. Away from the bloody bs that surrounds us when we step outside or turn on the tube. It is a bit unreal for grown men to meet like this...but we come here from around the world...I am amazed and humbled by it all. But someone needs to be our gate keeper, enforcer of civility and ethics of behavior.

Something I've carried with me for decades:

Success
by Robert Louis Stevenson



That Man is a Success
Who has lived well,
laughed often and loved much;
Who has gained the respect of intelligent men
and the love of children;
Who has filled his niche
and accomplished his task;
Who leaves the world better than he found it,
whether by improved poppy, a perfect poem,
or a rescued soul;
Who never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty
or failed to express it.
Who looked for the best in others
and gave the best he had.


Thank you Steel god.
