Friday night was gaming night, as the players (consisting of SteveB, Kathy, Nick, Tom, and Tom's wife, Joanne) continued on in the campaign of Hollow Earth Expedition (HEX). I'm not going to discuss the game (since folks who shouldn't know might be reading this post!), other than to say that the characters are in a right old mess, but the players are having the time of their lives. Joanne, the newest player to the group, is a fan of the Pulp genre, and she told me after the game broke up at about 1:00 am that night that she didn't know that roleplaying games could be this much fun.
Saturday afternoon,
Saturday was also my mother's birthday, and I had promised her I would cook supper for her. I was going to make roast beef, with roasted potatoes and a nice recipe for spinach with almonds and mushrooms. After
Sunday would have normally been a gaming day, but because of the long weekend, we didn't play anything.
Had a nice, leisurely supper of some more of the roast beef, with some brown rice, fresh steamed green beans, and a salad. Jeff Combos, the head honcho of Exile Games (the folks who make HEX) returned my call, and we chatted for a good, long time about various things while I was cooking food, so I ate somewhat later than I would have liked. Watched my summer vice, Big Brother, on the tube, before crashing for the night, and am having a good morning already, having cleaned up a bit in the den.
Got a lot of other stuff to do with what's left of the morning here at home, so will end this LJ entry here. Kettle's boiling, so...
