Goofing Off
So, where was I over the past weekend? Slumming.
The wife was accompanying our daughter in a road trip to Madison, WI, wherein, at the University the annual conference by the Richard Davis Foundation for Young Bassists. So here I was, a middling middle-aged batchelor for the weekend. Combine this with Passover which, in our house means they eat kosher, and I eat out a lot.
So off they went in the neighbor’s borrowed minivan, two jewish ladies, a double bass, and lots of kosher noshes to keep them satiated for the duration. And here I was with the two cats and a bit of laundry to do. So much for the batchelor fantasy…
I’m still hooked on Conquer Online. I find a (relatively) unpopulated server and start a new character and work it through the ranks until too many people join the server and bog it down. I’m such a big kid in some ways. Also I finally got Civilization IV a few weeks ago, the latest in my favorite computer game franchise, and with it I take care of my latent world-building-jones for a while. I’m a recovering Dungeons & Dragons geek, still.
All in all, Monday comes on too quickly, and the workaday slush is a bit irritating in contrast to a quiet weekend killing monsters and dominating planets. Life in meatspace is so mundane!
