ooo the hands

Was expecting to meet a new climber from work last night, so got there early -- about 6:30pm. Unfortunately she didn't show up (work stuff). So, I bouldered until a little after 9pm, when I'd normally leave -- I was quite done by that point. But, as I was taking off gear, a guy I'd met a previous time arrived. He's from out of town, and didn't have anyone to climb with -- no belay partner. As I hadn't done any routes (and there were a couple new ones I wanted to do) and as I completely understand the out-of-town and no-belay-partner situation and have a lot of sympathy for that state, I decided to put my harness back on and climb with him. So, I didn't end up leaving until 10:30 or so, make it a really long evening of climbing.

But, when I got home gabriel_le spoiled me very nicely -- with a snack laid out, then a massage. Mmm...

Reminder - gaming and potluck

Boardgaming starting at 1pm then poly potluck at 6pm this Sunday.

Two more games...

I won a copy of Battlelore at Cangames this year -- the person running the game had two copies to give away, one he gave to the winner of the tournament, the other two someone draw randomly from the participants in the demos. I was lucky, and won the draw. But, I wasn't around to collect, so he took the game home with him. To Sherbrooke, Quebec. It finally got dropped off at Fandom II earlier this week, and I picked it up this evening. And, of course, when I was there I looked at games... and picked up a copy of Ra, which has been on my "to-buy" list for a while. (Battlelore is #8 and Ra #14 on Boardgame Geek.)
