<\/strong>Friday<\/p>\n

<\/strong>was relatively mellow.  I had a chance to play some solo CoH, then after Margie got home we headed downtown to meet BD at Domo<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Saturday <\/strong>we were all up and running fairly early,  Margie went off to the store, while Katherine and I did a bunch of cleaning and pick-up around the house, finally getting all the Halloween bits out of the way and pulling out the limited Thanksgiving decor.  Wanted to get that done soon because … well, see below.<\/p>\n

Katherine and I also practiced our karate katas a lot, just as the rest of the weekend. That’s because … well, see below.<\/p>\n

In the evening, we went to our monthly parish progressive dinner party thang, “Hungry Flock.”  The house we were at had about 20-odd people in it, and, as usual, it was a nicely enjoyable time.  Katherine got her wish for a teenaged babysitter for once, Emily from up the street, and was well and truly out by the time we got home around 9:30.<\/p>\n

Sunday<\/strong>, after the usual church-and-brunch, I headed over to Doyce’s for a new short-term Galactic<\/a> game<\/a>.  We had an abortive campaign<\/a>  about a year ago, and it was a fair amount of fun.  It’s interesting how the rules (sort of in gamma test at the moment, it seems) have evolved (for the better, I think).  I cheated, since it was mostly new group, and rebuilt my previous character — but since the rules were revised and I didn’t consciously recreate her, it’s amusing the differences between them.  This day was chargen day, with the rest of the game to be shoe-horned in somehow between now and mid-December, and as we were working on a strict schedule, things got a bit rushed by the end, but it was still a good time.<\/p>\n

The rest of the evening — highlighted by (a) a yummy garlic-saut\u00e9ed shrimp-pasta dish Margie threw together, and (b) a haircut — was pleasantly calm. and enjoyable.<\/p>\n

This week …<\/p>\n

Monday <\/em>is sort of the last-opportunity-to-get-anything-done-at-home day.<\/p>\n

Tuesday <\/em>is a normal work day, but in the evening I test for my orange belt at my karate class.  That would normally be done on Thursday, but …<\/p>\n

Wednesday<\/em>, I head down to Fort Worth for a Very Important but Still Somewhat Nebulous business trip.<\/p>\n

Thursday <\/em>I’m in meetings all day.  In the evening, Katherine tests for orange in karate (irked I won’t be there).<\/p>\n

Friday <\/em>I fly home from Fort Worth, then we hop in a car and head down to the Springs, where we’re meeting Jim and Ginger (who are driving out this year, as they are now both retired and can afford the time) and staying at a B&B with them a couple of nights.  Followed by a week’s “vacation” at home, include big Thanksgiving dinner and lots of interesting home improvement projects.<\/p>\n

Busy, but presumably frequently enjoyable, times ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
