I suppose it is no surprise that someone with a sedentary hobby and a job that compels him to sit in a chair all day and who commutes several hundred miles each week and cannot recall where he is when he wakes up in the morning should find themselves held in a hospital for a few days. Now, I am hearing about my terrible lifestyle that has driven me to this awful fate. It is a twin difficulty with being found to have a physical ailment that it is also seen as a personal failing. I finally reached a limit when a doctor told me that my days of ‘hiding from doctors’ were through. I pointed out to him that I had been to a doctor as recently as the summer and had a test for the exact same condition they are treating me for just a year ago with no results. He in turn listened to my concerns that I cannot jump into his office at a moment’s notice by summoning me to his office one business day after our meeting about my lab results to discuss further details about the results. I declined.

OK, that is irrelevant. Circumstances have limited my additions to the site though I feel I am reaching a point where I can return to it. I dug out an old Jack Scruby catalog I knew I had but had been unable to find. The catalog shows that unlike his contemporaries, Scruby was quite happy to match his figures to existing scales including model railroad scales. I am hopeful that I will also ferret out a group of his American Civil War figures I purchased at that time. I felt they did not stand up to the attractive 25mm figures from Custom Cast so placed no additional orders but sometimes wish I did.

I also found some old Task Force Games figures for their game Musketeer. I will post the photos when I have the opportunity.
