Dagrim's Tales

I had a good crowd for gaming today, including several new to the gaming circle people, plus a few people who are gamers from work. I'm not sure I can name everyone, but let's see how goes: me, ironphoenix, Elena, beable, Zan, Antra, George, Dan, Lyne, Jenz, foms, con_girl, Lena, Patrick; for social and knitting Liv and Deanne appeared; and just for the dinner portion, rottenfruit and two little ones. Not everyone was here at the same time, of course.

I played: Ricochet Robots (ironphoenix & me tied), Brass (me), Kingdom Builder (beable), Medici (me), and Princes of Florence (Zan).

Also played included: San Juan (Lyne), 7 Wonders (Elena), and Alien Frontiers (beable/foms tie). There may have been another game or two played, I'm not positive.

Friday evening gaming seems to be working out pretty well, so we'll do it again... 7pm, my place, this Friday. 

RSVPs appreciated.

I had a few people over last night for gaming -- I played At The Gates of Loyang with ilanikhan, ironphoenix, and beable. arndis and tchang also showed up a bit later, played a game of My Dwarves Fly, then headed out.

This morning I got up and headed to the far right section of Home Cliff (i.e. Farm Rock) with Celine, K8, and Phil. We had a good day there, despite the heat. I got 5 climbs in, including one solid trad lead and a harder route on top-rope. The top-rope went through the section where I broke my ankle 3-1/2 years ago, which was a bit freaky for my head.

I've got too many unused vacation days this year, so I have to use a bunch up before Christmas, so I used one today.

I spent the day out rock climbing. Yep, rock climbing near Ottawa in late November. This is unheard of! It was a bit chilly in the morning, but early afternoon the sun came out and it was gorgeous. Climbed a few climbs at Home Cliff, including one that I've never been on -- a wonderful 5.9 climb. Lots of good, tough, moves -- definitely a great climb.

Then, home, shower, and dinner with foms, con_girl, and ragnhildr. We were planning to go to the Malaysian restaurant near here, but it was closed. (Under new management, re-opening soon, the sign said. Who knows if that will, actually, happen. Or if it will be any good after.) So we went to the restaurant formerly known as the Fuliwah for dinner. Then back here for a game (played my new game, Charon Inc). It was good to see them, and to have a pleasant game.

Yep, all in all, a good day off.
