Saturday afternoon, I went to a fundraiser at the Louisville Zoo. Lots of food from local restaurants and producers, wineries, micro- and craft breweries. I don't drink beers and ales, and don't like most locally-produced wines, so I was able to get away with the less-expensive ticket. And was, of course, given the alcohol-indulging wristband when I got there. The event was a lot of fun - no small amount of people-watching, of course, and, to be honest, the main reason I went was to hang around with D for the first time since early May. She is quite happy with the new job, what with it being a better work environment, getting a raise, and being made full-time this week. Very good to see her.
As mentioned in a previous post, I'm on vacation this week. Not doing anything big; just relaxing and hoping to get some rejuvenation. I've done a bit of reading today, watched a few movies, and dealt with the results of not really sleeping at all last night.
Finally finished reading the books I got at GenCon. I now see the appeal of Savage Worlds, and the Space 1889: Red Sands book for SW was a very good read. Likewise Sunward, for Eclipse Phase. And if the first Pathfinder module in my subscription is any indication, I'm going to love this product line. It's that good mix of adventure and source material that I remember from the good ol' BECMI D&D days. In the next few days, I'll work up a document converting this to Fantasycraft, and see about getting a few game sessions underway.
