To San Jose & Back
Nov. 8th, 2009 10:25 pmBusy day. Went down to San Jose and back in celebration of my mom's birthday. Most of the day was spent just hanging around her backyard, talking to Jason, Lisa, Rob, my Mom, Bob, and Mike T. (and his family). It made me remember how nice it is just to have a backyard--if someone else is taking care of it that is--and of course the conversation was all good too.
Even got to play a game of ping pong with Mike. I used to love that game when I was young, but I haven't played since I moved out of the dorms, after my first year of Berkeley. Mike, also out of practice, beat me, but we were both getting the feeling that we were rediscovering the ping-pong muscles as we played.
Not a lot beyond that. We heard that Jason and Lisa quite liked the Ticket to Ride that we got them for their wedding, which is great. We'd known that they'd played a lot of Monopoly and such, so I wanted to introduce them to a Euro. I also expect that I'm going to join Mike T. for a bike ride before November is out, if we can make our schedules coincide. We'll see. It's been a busy couple of weeks, so next weekend is officially off (other than regular gaming, of course).
We got home earlier than I'd guessed, and I was considering sitting down to work on a review (Traveller Book 3: Scout) or my next Signs & Portents article ("Gods of the Goblins"), but I'm just too burned. Will sit down to read instead.
