Lunching! And Long Weekend!

[pyat]

I'd intended to have lunch today with a coworker and a mutual friend who played in my defunct Hackmaster game. This was canceled, and instead I went to lunch with commanderteddog. She doodled on the table cloth, we ate, then went for a general ramble underground, with a quick pause at Game Trek.

Earlier this week, I had sushi with tzoq, and we ran into atomiks on the street corner and chatted a bit.

Have I mentioned that I love working in downtown Toronto?

tzoq is going on a 170 km bike ride this weekend, and intends to visit for an hour at the midpoint of his trip. Our weekend (and it is a long weekend) is otherwise entirely empty, an event almost unheard of.

... What are you folks all up to? :)

Shopping for bathroom fixtures & accessories, gardening and hanging with my boyz.

Celebrating V's birthday (and the birthday of one of our friends).

[pyat.livejournal.com]

Sounds like good, clean, productive fun.

Happy birthday, V!

How's Tuesday for you?

[pyat.livejournal.com]

I like Tuesday. 1 PM?

Dental appointments and post-celebrations of The Mate's birthday on Saturday, Sunday.. er, Sunday... I have no idea what we're doing Sunday. Nothing, I think! Wow.

Friday evening: sailing lessons and potluck
Saturday: sailing to Burlington, weather permitting. But no evening plans! Board games?
Sunday: church in the morning, if I wake up in time; and then driving everyone around me crazy until the kids' airplane lands! Hooray! Hooray!
Monday: probably nothing, chillin' with the children, most ilkely, who will be jet lagged and grumpy/sad about having left behind their dad, sister, etc. Mixed in with glad to be home. :)

Happy birthday to seattlemouse!

Do you guys have a sailboat?

Also - Saturday night board games might be swell. I'll email people.

Welcome home/birthday/new job party in my honor tomorrow night, gaming on Sunday, and probably shopping for career clothes for me and school supplies for the kids on Saturday, since it's tax-free weekend.

Quite a different sort of weekend than I've been having. :)

Doing lots of work, as my boss is on vacation, and I have to cover for him, as well as do my own work, and train another guy who is helping cover for my coworker who moved on to another job.

Planning on going on a 33 mile bike ride, with is a pitiful distance compared to tzoq. I've been trying to train myself up to do a 100 mile ride (that's 161 km to you Canadians), but I'm beginning to doubt my capability of doing it, and whether I'll be able to afford the entry fee for the event.

But it sounds like a good one!

...and whether I'll be able to afford the entry fee for the event.

Is it a charity event?

[leonard-arlotte.livejournal.com]

It's sponsored by the Lafayette Habitat for Humanity, but I'm not certain if it's a charity event in and of itself.

No plans other than to take in oxygen as usual and try not to go insane or do something I'll regret having done come Monday.

*nods*

That ought to keep me busy.

[saomigray.livejournal.com]

I shall enjoy the conspicuous lack of weekend activity!

Bike Ride

[tzoq.livejournal.com]

The 170km ride will be my longest by about 50%... It's a pretty easy ride (all along the lake), so I think I can handle it. We'll see if I end up taking the train home...

[relee.livejournal.com]

Making sure: You live in Hamilton, and work in Toronto? Do you drive yourself, or take the commuter train?


I was going to apply for a job, but during the process I had an incident and now I'm just trying not to go insane.

[sassy-fae.livejournal.com]

Cleaning house, visiting friends, and getting ready for camping next week! I've got about 6 days of stuff to do in the next 3 days, I'm sure it'll all get done :)

[pyat.livejournal.com]

*fuzzles* You can come and breathe our oxygen at some point, if you like!

[catsarah.livejournal.com]

Will it be Firefly (the game) laden oxygen??

[pyat.livejournal.com]

Not as far as I know! I'd heard Alex et al were doing something, at least on Saturday.

[pyat.livejournal.com]

Just do all it, half-assed! :) Awesome!

[pyat.livejournal.com]

I live in Hamilton and work in Toronto, yeah. I take the train in, because it lets me sleep/read/listen to audio books.

Re: Bike Ride

Good grief! You're actually using your LJ for something!

[leonard-arlotte.livejournal.com]

Just got in from the ride. Went the full 33 miles, and did it the hard way. (up the steeper hill)

I'll have full details and some pics on my own LJ later tonight or tomorrow.

Oh! What an exciting, modern lifestyle!
