To the right Lion Hearted kids game Homeric Hack. A portion of the city of Troy, was set up, for the youngsters to game with. When returning home via LAX Airport it is considerably easier getting there in a timely fashion when traveling west and north rather than east or south. We barely made it to the airport on time. Thirty eight miles took us 3 hours. Thank heaven we were on Wilcox Standard Time (that's Lynne's maiden name and method of getting places on time) as opposed to Viverito standard time. Carting kids and managing sundry other domestic projects, Lynne is a master of getting things done and on time. I have learned much from this conversion to Wilcox Standard Time. Nonetheless we arrived at Lion Heart Games and Comics well in advance and met Marcelo and Vince the owner. There was plenty of time to set up a demonstration game for a crowd of young blood garners. We fought a Trojan battle and gave out prepublication rules free to the attendees. They appeared appreciative and likewise enjoyed the game which they felt could have gone on days longer. We would like to thank Vince and Marcelo for helping set up this event. It was enjoyable and fulfilling to see youngsters getting involved.

Arriving in California we easily picked up our rental car and pressed north to Pasadena. In California everything is easy to find if you do not fear free way traffic. We would suggest though if you go to LA it is wise to take up lodging south or east of the city.
