I'm pulling my driveway. We all know what that means. It's time from their drive to work.

Okay. Today, I just got back from vacation and I have a story to tell you. So this podcast,

I'm themed, things that didn't go according to plan. So I'm going to share with you the story of

my vacation and then interspersed with that, I'm going to share with you the story of my vacation and then interspersed

with that, I'm going to talk about different things that I've done were designed didn't go according

to plan. Absolutely, you could get the hint that my vacation did not go according to plan. Okay,

so what I'm going to do is I'm going to tell my story about my vacation, but interspers it with

stories from other sets.

So we start with my vacation.

Okay.

So let me start with the preamble to my vacation.

So my oldest daughter, Rachel, is in college.

And so my wife, Laura, was planning our next family vacation.

And so it seemed like the summer was the best time to do it because rachel was off school and the kids were off school and um the kids uh

rachel schedule and adam and sarah's schedule don't always line up based on when they're on or off

school so um the plan was that rachel was working all summer long, but she had a little bit of

time before her job started, and it turned out that the kid's school ended a week before Rachel's job

started. So the idea originally was we were going to go into vacation in June. So the kid's school would, Adam and Sarah's school would end. And there was a week before Rachel's job started and that we could do our vacation.

Okay. So the magic story I'll tell now is Tempest. So Tempest was the first set I ever did. And I was very

excited to do it. For those who don't know, the quick version of the story was, I got hired as a

developer, but I really wanted to be a designer. And so I'd learned that Richard Garfield

had not worked on any magic design since Arabian Nights and that he is eager to work on something again.
