A new work week dawns in the valley with clouds and a forecast of rain and/or thunderstorms. But, it doesn’t appear as though the rain will alleviate the high temperatures we’ve been experiencing. Fortunately, there’s air conditioning technology to keep us cool.

The weekend was a good and, though brief, enjoyable one. I even ( Read more... )

Today is Bastille Day.

Last night was the release event for WizKids!’ Captain America HeroClix set. One of the nice things about release nights: I don’t have to judge the events, so I just get to play. (This isn’t to say that I don’t get asked rules questions, however… but I’m not the event judge, so I’m not constantly ( Read more... )

Despite the way I wrote it above it’s 7/11, which means “Free 7.11 ounce Slurpees at 7-11″ Day! How’s that for a good way to kick off your week?!

It’s midweek, and I don’t think that I’ve been so happy to see a Wednesday roll around in a long time. It’s not that this has been a bad one. It just feels like it’s been exceptionally long. On the “plus” side, it’s new comics day and game night, so there are a couple of things to which I can look forward.

Last night was ( Read more... )

It’s a sunny and clear day in the valley and it seems rather inversion-free. A person could get used to this.

Last night, our evening errand-running included a trip to Costco. I hadn’t been to a Costco in… probably more than a year. I saw a few interesting things, but still managed to walk out empty-handed.

The evening was ( Read more... )

It’s “No Bad News Technical Friday.”  Hallelujah!

It’s kind of hard to believe that we’re only two days away from the end of April. It feels like it just started. I wonder how quickly the rest of Spring and Summer are going to fly by - or at least feel like they are flying by - now that we have the twins to look forward to ( Read more... )

It’s another NBN Thursday in the valley. It’s partly sunny, but at least it’s not raining. For the time being, anyway…

Last night was Game Night 2, with ( Read more... )

So far, it’s been a nice and quiet day.

I slept in.

I decided to take a relaxing hot bath.

I finished Fables Vol. 7: Arabian Nights (and Days), which has been languishing on the bookshelf.

All the way around, I think that qualifies as a good way to kick off a Sunday.

Yesterday, SaraRules and I went for a walk along the ( Read more... )

“Summer’s going fast…”

It seems as though July just started, and now we are beginning August.

Yesterday was also Ms. ( Read more... )
