Day One of the Long Weekend

This morning I ventured out to Bayshore Hobbies for a sale marking the 50th birthday of the owner/manager, Rose. She's looking good, I must say. I've been going to Bayshore since 1989, and Rose has aged a lot better than most of her clientele. I picked up a free cupcake, and a copy of the most recent Star Wars RPG, and a collection of Paranoia adventures.

tzoq arrived shortly after I got home, having completed the first 5/8ths if his epic 180 km bike trip. He stopped by to eat burgers, hydrate, and talk about BBC radio shows and silent movies.

This afternoo, we're off to visit mar2nee for board games. The long weekend has started well, methinks!

A ramble in the woods, and a murder in the abbey

We spent the evening at mar2nee and Daniel's house, or close by. Early in the evening, we sent Daniel out for Thai food and went for a walk. mar2nee revealed the presence of a conservation area trail just a block from her house, so we all went for a ramble in the woods. "We" being velvetpage, doc_mystery, mrs_dm, mar2nee, myself, three small girls, and a very large German Shepherd named Max.
