An Unusual Saturday

shannon_aA bit of an unusual Saturday. We couldn't go to Endgame because they're having their annual miniatures swap, and we couldn't get enough players together to play anything until 3.30 or so. However, with so many missed Saturdays lately I went ahead and scheduled a game for today at my house at 3pm rather than canceling altogether.
I usually leave the house at 12.30 for Endgame, so this left me with an extra two and a half hours. So, I spent about two hours very successfully working on the history book in the early afternoon. Afterward, I got off my ass and rode down to the Bay and back--as I like to try and get some biking exercise on the weekends when I don't bike to Oakland and back.
It was a nice day for biking, very windy on the way down to the Bay, but that means I didn't notice it at all on the way back up.
The one downside was that idiot Truthers were crowded onto the edges of the Pedestrian Overpass down by the Bay holding up signs directing people toward their tinfoil-hat conspiracy websites (you know, that Bush secretly plotted 9/11 while talking to gray aliens or some such bullshit).
Drivers on the freeway below were honking as they passed and I thought, y'know all of these idiots think they're communicating and they're not. The LSD burnouts on the bridge thought that drivers were honking for their message REVEALING THE TRUTH about 9/11, while the drivers on the freeway would have honked for any sign with the numbers 9 and 11 on it today, even if it was like "9 DONUTS FOR $11".
Anyway, I watched the Bay for a few minutes then headed back up. A good ride.
I got in just before Dave P., at about 2.45. Donald showed up more like 3.15 and Dave S. around 3.45. The timing all went quite well, because Dave P. and Donald had to work on their characters and we were just finishing that up when Dave S. arrived.
We got in probably 3 hours of actually Savage Tide gaming, as we ran pretty late until 6.45. I was very happy to have run the session because it got us just far enough that we should be able to finish on our next game (10/2) without having to rush. That makes me happy because I can tell Dave W. that 10/2 is definitively the last Save Tide game, and he can show up if he wants.
Change is in the air. I'm planning to finish both of my RPG campaigns in October, then we'll probably start new ones in November (with me running less than all). I'm looking forward to seeing what they are.
