Torchy and Hildy dinged 45 a couple of days ago — and are already well on their way to 46. Having fun, though we ran into an Elite Paragon Protector the other day who was also a Fire blaster — and demonstrated to Torchy that booms hurt on the receiving end.
Our playtime (and blogtime) over the next week-plus will be a bit constrained, I expect — family coming to visit, a small mini-vacation, holidays, etc., all combining to reduce our time at the keyboards. Which, of course, will probably mean we miss the I8 roll-out (or only get a little time with it in the short term). Ah, well.
