Interesting weekend here at Chez Cross. Grace and I spent Saturday down in the Bay Area at Kubla Con. I ran two TOON games as part of Dorkstock West (the John Kovalic/Dork Tower celebratory minicon within a con) and both went very well. I also played in a session of the Dork Tower board game with John & Judith Kovalic and Brian & Lori Ann Curley. Grace bought several things and I picked up 4 GURPS sourcebooks for only 20 bucks at the flea market. We got home about 2:00 AM Sunday and crashed.
Sunday morning, our new clothes dryer was delivered and SURPRISE, it would run but not heat up (which is why we GOT a new dryer, cos the old one stopped heating up). Turns out that our 220 volt outlet is not putting out the full 220. What does that mean? It means we now have to have an electrician come out and fix the problem this week…no doubt with a fee of a few hundred bucks. Once again, the simple solution to a problem is denied me.
Sunday afternoon was Gaming Day for us. The kingdom sim game is still going well as they expand into new lands and discover new things. I’m going to expand the number of players to include play by email players, so if any of you are interested, let me know.
Today, it’s work for me, but My Sweet Little Rainbow Bunting Of Passion has the day off, as does Roscoe the Wonder Dog. Lucky them.
Before I go, let me just say (as a veteran who is married to a veteran) THANK YOU to all of our servicemen and women who are serving now and have served in the past. And take a moment today to give thanks to all of those brave souls who died to keep us free.
