winterbadger | a lovely evening

bidger and I used to have weekly "painting" sessions to get together, ahve dinner, chat, and paint wargame figures; I say "painting" because they frequently didn't include any painting at all, if someone had gotten a new game or we ended up watching The Simpsons for four hours.

Somehow we got out of the habit of doing this (I think it may have been when

redactrice and I were doing couples counselling). I ended up seeing Peter rarely and Aaron never at all. Boo! But now we're starting up again. Yay! And while Aaron couldn't make it last night (he was waiting for deliverymen who never came...), we've all blocked Tuesday evenings off on our schedule. And Peter *was* able to make it over, and we had a lovely time. He and I and

shy_kat played foosball, then she went off to feed her hard-working

redactrice and Peter and I ordered Indian food, drank beer, and talked over the world's problems*. Then, after Da Gurlz had had their dinner, they came down and pestered us :-) into palying games with them. I won a game of Apples to Apples; Peter one a game of Guillotine and Melissa (I think) won a second game of Guillotine. After which we all wandered, yawning, off to our respective beds.

It was a most convivial evening, and I look forward to next week already. (After all, Aaron says he has some new games...)

* Peter, one of the two articles I mentioned is here

For the life of me, I can't remember what the other one was; what was the other point we were discussing?
