They say that if you go to bars to meet people, you'll meet people that like to hang out in bars. If you want to meet people that enjoy, oh I don't know, square dancing, then you should go to a square dance. I don't particularly like hanging out in bars or square dancing, but I do enjoy a casual board game— I've got a closet full of them— so I went to The Center for their monthly game night. And, guess what? I had a fun time and met a bunch of nice people. I am so going again next month.

In the meantime, I'm packing my bags for a trip to the Bay Area this weekend. I'll be spectating at a wedding rather than taking a real vacation, which as I am sure you will agree, I am long overdue. But, my brother and his daughter will be there and it will be nice to spend some time with them. And then after that, it will be back to the daily grind. Whee!
