FRIDAY<\/u>
\nFairly pleasant day, as I recall now. The original evening plan had been for Jackie’s Necropolis <\/i>game, which would be the giant “We’re all going to die” battle. Instead, we ended up playing Wit & Wisdom<\/i>, which is essentially Fictionary\/Balderdash <\/i>for aphorisms and sayings from other cultures. Some of us had great fun, others not so much. Since I collect <\/a>that sort of thing, it was certainly my cuppa. Not surprisingly, I’m the one that bought it for Jackie for her birthday …<\/p>\n

SATURDAY<\/u>
\nMargie took Katherine off to dance class. Haven’t mentioned dance class yet, have I. Down at the rec center, Saturdays at 9. Since one of us always up by then (with Kitten), it’s not a big schedule issue. And there’s nigh on nothing quite as cute as a gaggle (say 16 or so) 3-4-year-olds in pink\/purple\/black leotards and tutus, whirling about the room like giggling leaves.<\/p>\n

As for me? My sleep-in day, o blessed sleep-in day …<\/p>\n

… interrupted by a phone call at 9 a.m. from Doyce (not his fault, and 9 is not an unreasonable number, though I tend to wait until 10 to call folks on weekends, even if I know they’re early risers). Did we want to do the Necropolis <\/i>thang today? Sure.<\/p>\n

So that’s what we did, cunningly scheduling two hours before the scheduled Chrysalis<\/i><\/a> get-together (which nearly all the same folk). Of course, we dawdled around for close to an hour. Then, of course, the Huge Melee took more like four hours. <\/p>\n

After it was over, with nobody on our side quite dead (but with significant collateral damage to stuff in the room), Doyce decided to bag the Nobilis <\/i>game. He headed home, and Stan (who’d come over for that, and instead gotten to watch a couple of hours of D&D melee) and Randy and Margie and I watched some episodes of Blackadder III<\/i>.<\/p>\n

SUNDAY<\/u>
\nWe skipped church, since Margie was bone tired (still getting over her bug), and Kitten was down with the sniffles. That didn’t net me any extra sleep-in, since Kitten was up at 5:30a, crawling in bed with us, which lasted about 25 minutes before I went downstairs with her.<\/p>\n

The Chrysalis <\/i>game was moved to Sunday afternoon, and, ultimately, started. Tremendous entertainment<\/a>, as Margie and I both assumed NPC roles for goodly chunks of time (Stan’s daughter and mysterious fiancee).<\/p>\n

That broke up in time for folks to head home for Alias<\/i>, and we had a relatively quiet evening, until I noticed that it was 10:30p already and I still had some cleaning to do.<\/p>\n

And, of course, Katherine — who had been bouncy hyper-girl all day (when she wasn’t dissolving into dissapointed sobs that someone had said “No” or “Later” to her) was hit by more buggage during the night, waking up around 2:30a with a fever and general not-feel-goods. Which meant we got to wake up then, too, to indictments of “You and Mommy gave me your germs!”<\/i><\/p>\n

So I’m home with Kitten today, working from here. Amazingly enough, all of a sudden my IPSec VPN connection is working, which is a lot handier than the all-or-nothing PPTP VPN connection I’ve been having to use. Good stuff. <\/p>\n

Other items of interest for the coming week are traveling out to Faerie for brief vacation time and long business meetings, and work on the Nobilis <\/i>Lexicon of the Lost 500 Years <\/a>project, which, so far (one entry) has been a blast — and which has renewed in me a desire to play with Wiki stuff even more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
