I got to the train station this morning, and found the entrance to the platform roped off. I interrogated fellow commuters revealed and learned that a cargo train derailment yesterday had blocked the tracks between Hamilton and Aldershot. Shuttle busses were running, but were filling up as soon as they arrived, with huge lines of people left waiting on the platform.

So, I went home. The office VPN runs like molasses, but it's better than nothing.

Last night we had impromptu chili and Family Day Catan with

catsarah,

nottheterritory,

anidada,

sassy_fae,

etherlad, and a New Person Who Hasn't Got a Livejournal. This last individual quickly won herself into our good graces by nothing that, while she had only played Settlers of Catan once, it was on a 3D board, while visiting her friend Dr. Cat.
