I was up relatively early to get to a roller-skating lesson for 8am. Just a 1-hour lesson, but amazing how much that can work you.

At work, I got confirmation that I will be going to Michigan in two weeks, so I got to book all that travel. But yay trip.

I had lunch with ironphoenix, too.

After work, I had dinner with Jex, and got to see Giovanni. He is getting bigger -- but that is what babies do.

Then, after dinner, out to Stittsville for board games, where we played Antike.

I'm home now, and I need to organize and pack for a trip to the 'Gunks, leaving tomorrow morning around 8am. Hopefully the weather will be not-awful.

If I'm already feeling tired and achy tonight, how's tomorrow morning going to feel? An hour of dance, and then the same evening two hours on roller skates is enough that I am definitely feeling it. And, I took a couple of falls trying things, which I'm sure helps with the creation of some of the aches.

I went out for Chinese food for dinner this evening, my fortune cookie:

You will be traveling to distand lands for business purposes.

Maybe I should by a lottery ticket with the numbers it gave?

I am home again; well, I arrived last night -- but with flight delays and time change, I didn't get back to the house until after 3am, so just went to bed.

I'm delayed about an hour out of Vancouver, but should still make my connection -- and if not, there's likely another flight I can catch.

I've had a good week of skiing here in B.C. Not a lot of fresh snow, but generally solid base, good skiing, and a fair bit of sun.

I don't often fly through Calgary.

I am home again.

Also, the front of the main-floor of the passenger cabin of a 747 looks really odd -- I'm not used to the front of the plane ending in a bulk-head, not in a door.

I landed in Frankfurt having not slept on the plane -- it landed at 7:30am Germany time, which is before bed-time Ottawa time. I have no driven to Hildesheim, napped, and had dinner. I'm still feeling sleepy, though.

Hey people, board-games chez-moi this coming Sunday. 1pm and on through afternoon and hopefully evening. RSVPs appreciated, but not required.

ironphoenix and I co-hosted gaming today, afternoon at his place then evening here. We started with Skull and Roses -- a short bluffing game -- then split into two groups. Brass at one table, and something else upstairs. You can guess which one I played in. :)

We hit the Chu-Shing for dinner, then my place, where once again it was an 18xx in one room, and Food Chain Magnate in the other -- this time I was in the Food Chain Magnate game. We didn't quite finish, but I had a clear lead it look almost guaranteed I'd pull out the win.

A good turn out for both afternoon and evening, and it was good to see metawidget out for a game in the evening.
