Whoo. Long weekend.<\/p>\n
Saturday night was this month’s Hungry Flock dinner. That turned out to be much more hectic because the sitter was late (not terribly happy with the sitter in question, but she’s had the twin advantages of being available and being just down the street). Dinner was okay, but still ended the evening feeling a little out of breath.<\/p>\n
Today, Kitten got up at 7:30a, which was later than usual — nice, especially since I was the one taking care of her this morning, but the short period between that and actually getting up meant some of the Sunday morning relaxation was not there. Not helped, of course, by my going downstairs without turning off the alarm …<\/p>\n
The rest was the normal church and brunch, followed by a long trip to Nordie’s Rack for some clothes all around (and multiple shoes for Margie), plus a long trip to CostCo, shopping for Alpha tomorrow, followed by a trip to King Soopers for same.<\/p>\n
Back home in time to (barely) unload, get Kitten down for a nap, get changed, and then have people arrive for this afternoon\/evening’s Pulp Adventures game. Playtesting a module for GenghisCon (during which we’ll be in England), it was a lot of fun. I like the Pulp setting, frankly, and would like to do more of it (maybe even, gasp, run some). The only mar to the festivities were various multilateral tensions between multiple members of the large cast of players. Not sure what was going on, not sure I want to know, but the soap opera of metagaming issues is rarely as enjoyable as the gaming itself.<\/p>\n
Nuff said. Off to bed. Long week this week — catch-up from being out for a week, trying to get back into the Catspaw<\/i>-writing groove, lots of initiatives from the meeting last week, trying to deal with some WIST stuff, and various other things to occupy my time, including Alpha on Monday night and the Vestry Retreat on Friday night and the two-hour Firefly <\/i>tape and the FotR <\/i>DVD (plus numerous others) plus I’m now two weeks behind on Farscape <\/i>plus …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
