    Except on holidays.  Last Christmas Eve, I went over to my mother's
place to have dinner and exchange gifts, and sure enough, Uncle Scott
was
there.	I had brought my Gear Krieg rulebook to read during the more
boring
parts of the evening's festivities.  His eyes shot daggers at me when he
found out what the book was.

AGAIN!!! ;)

    Although my Dad is somewhat religious, and pretty conservative, he
is no
where near the level ecclesiastic zeal that my Uncle Scott reaches. 
(BTW,
he's my mother's brother, not my father's.) Unlike my Uncle,  Dad never
feared that my gaming would condemn my soul to Perdition, he just
thought is
was weird.
