The

Even with the advent of
next-gen consoles, for many old-school fans, Thief will always be most at home

I had a frustrating experience yesterday with my appointment with the doctor to
look at my shoulder, as I couldn't actually find him. He works out of Manhattan,
but has occasional hours at an office that is easier to get to from here to save
at least one trip into the city for this, but I was unable to locate the office,
and this end-of-day appointment was after the receptionist left, so there was no
one to answer my call. I was looking forward to getting the ball rolling on this
process, so it's aggravating to remain at square zero, but what can you do?
Mother Nature is doing her best to help, as the huge dumping of snow she's
dumping on us right now will provide plenty of physical therapy in the form of
shoveling.
