(no subject)

I think this has qualified as a good weekend. I spent Friday night at my friend Eric's helping him set up a truly huge Napoleonic miniature game, then Saturday I and several other chaps spent most of the day playing it (and then packing everything up again). It was a good game--I think everyone got a chance to do as much (or more :-) than they had counted on, and despite it being very large (three Austrian corps against two French, a portion of the French Imperial Guard, and a division of Bavarians), we played it to a very thorough conclusion.

Today I had great plans for all I was going to accomplish, but sleeping very late (I was at Eric's both nights until past 11) and then lazing over breakfast cut them a bit short. I did go to REI for some things, which I've been meaning to do for months now. I have a new day pack, two new pairs of shoes that are comfortable and sturdy and that I can wear to work, and a few other odds and ends. Then I went for a hike, which I'll detail later. Came back, had a shower and a soak, got dinner for the cats, had some cheese and crackers, and I'm just finishing dinner. I may get some laundry done tonight, but I did not get to the pet store for more cat litter or tot he grocery for a few items (milk and berries for cereal). Up early for a meeting at work and home late, so the remaining errands will have to wait 'till Tuesday.
