Tuesday: today's schedule included breakfast with Becca at First Watch, where I had some very nice French toast. We proceeded to Becca's house to continue our conversation and to survey the aftermath of child-rearing. We spent the afternoon driving up to Lexington to catch up with Jen and Chuck, where we sat around their shockingly deep pool. It was mostly empty, and their kids had been just lying inside in the shade. By the time Chuck got home, they'd gone inside, and the four of us checked out the waterfront before driving down to Port Huron for dinner. I was a little worried that it would be too hot to sit outside at Freighters, but despite some glare from the sun, we had a comfortable dinner; I enjoyed the blue-green mai tais I'd ordered to drink, and the wagyu melt sandwich tasted excellent. We drove back home afterwards; I spent a lot of the time in the car thinking about my interactive fiction ambitions. When we got back to the hotel room, I downloaded the latest Hearthstone update so I could play the new "Return to Un'Goro" expansion preview tavern brawl. (My first run with quest warlock was pretty bad, only getting two wins, but the quest/dragon warrior deck I'm using on my second try seems a lot stronger. I'm at two wins and no losses, so I could still end up with the same record, but I'm still optimistic about my chances.) Now that I've posted this update, I'm going to go to bed.
Monday: lots of follow-ups at work today. Afterwards, we went to trivia, where we sat at the round table by the garage door. We had our usual, plus potato wedges. Once the game got going, we did well! I provided several key answers, and we ended up in 2nd place. After getting back home, I fell asleep for a bit, but I logged into Dawntrail and progressed the MSQ from the end of the third zone to just before the end of the fourth zone.
Saturday: a perfectly ordinary day. We hit Taco Bell, went shopping, played Civ VI. I was trying to maximize faith generation as Ethiopia since that can pivot into either science or cultural victory paths, but I kept forgetting to found my cities on hills, and eventually Kublai Khan started gobbling my settlements up. Julie managed to sneak a diplomatic victory as the Mongols in what felt like record time. She made more of that chicken, rice, and casserole sausage for dinner, and we started rewatching Futurama unexpectedly. I have no complaints.
Oh, and I can officially aknowledge that I bought a new computer last fall. Maybe this week I'll actually get it set up in an optimal position.
