Ok, last week was a short week, but this one feels short for some reason.

Help out at our shire's Green Lane demo over the weekend.  Spent both days teaching a few period games to anyone who got close enough to listen :)  Sold some game boards for a shire fund raiser (sold 24 on Saturday and 8 on Sunday).  We sold less this year then last year, but I was in a better location last year.

Monday was fencing practice, but it got canceled.  Didn't find out in time to bring my gym stuff to work, so I just went right home (yes, I could have gone home and then gone to the gym, but I don't do that.)  Instead I caught up on some email, and tried to find out what was wrong with out DSL connection (noisy phone line - need to figure out if it is inside or outside).  Later my sister stopped by - I had offered to help her scan some slides.  It took a bit to figure out what we were doing, and we'll probably want to re-scan some of the ones we did, but we got through her professional portfolio (20 slides).  Eventually we'll put them up on a web site.  If I get a chance tomorrow I may put up one or two of them.

Tuesday was D&D, but it got canceled.  Instead, I went to the gym, and wore myself out - no surprise, I'm still getting over a cold.  Spent the rest of the evening watching Alias season 1.

Today I went back to New York.  This time I had to bring a bulky computer system with me, so I drove instead of taking the train.  Took less time to get there by car then it does by train.  The only down side of driving is I couldn't get any reading done.  The up side of the trip was actually identifying the problem we've been chasing for the last few months.  Turn out to be two problems, a driver incompatibility which was masking a hardware failure that occurred after we started working on the problem (follow that?).  During lunch I got to see the Statue of Liberty for the first time - way off in the distance, and mostly blocked by buildings, but it's still the first time I've seen it.

Tomorrow is EK History night, and I may actually be able to get something accomplished for a change.  I've not really done much since Pennsic.

Friday is Gamesters and Newcomers, no clue if anyone is planning to come (which is normal, and fine)

Saturday I'm running games at a small SCA event in NJ.  Should be interesting, but I don't know anyone else who is going.

Sunday I need to pick up some grape juice from the home brew store, but beyond that nothing is scheduled.  I may brew, or I may try and get folks to see a movie (brunch & a movie anyone? - [livejournal.com profile] hughcasey reminded me that Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow opens this weekend)
