Just dug myself sort of into my driveway. That's a lot of snow -- and I only got sort of into my driveway. Cambridge Street is a real mess.

Despite the storm, I was able to get together with beable and ironphoenix for dinner and a couple games. We had intended to eat at the Mee Xim, but found it was closed (weather?), so retreated to a Chinese restaurant just across the street. (The Secret Treasure or something like that.) We were underwhelmed by the restaurant -- one dish was good, but the other two just mediocre. We played a game of Set while waiting for food (I was well ahead when food arrived), then a game of Louis XIV after dinner (I won) and then Skat (old German card game, ironphoenix won). I liked Louis XIV, though I'm not sure if I like it enough to own it. I'm also not sure how I managed to win -- things seem to go badly for me at times, yet I came out will in the end. I must not have noticed when things went badly for the others, perhaps, though I did notice ironphoenix have a bad round. Skat is an interesting 3-player trick-taking game, with moderately complex rules. If I was looking for a game to play while waiting for the 4th to show up for bridge, it would be a good choice.
