Just got back from running Rob & Joanna to the airport to catch their flight out to Egypt. They were supposed to fly out last night, but their flight was delayed for a day due to mechanical problems… For them that just meant a complimentary car ride home and another day to pack last minute stuff, but there were a lot of unamused people for whom Detroit was just a connection. They wound up getting shuffled into hotel rooms for the night. And a happy Valentines day to all of them…
As far as Valentines goes, our big plan is the now-traditional dinner at Paesanos, followed up by some romantic candlelight, some wine and a little bit of EverQuest. We were going to play EQ a bit during the day, but the run out to the airport put the kibosh on that. It’s probably just as well… We’re still a bit snoozy from the Diablothon with my sis last night.
We played from roughly 9 last night until around 1:30 this morning. Sis has a first generation iMac that she’s been lugging around, but she’s planning on getting something more portable with her tax refund. My wife and I have already put an order in for her birthday present, a slipcase from Willow Design, possibly the finest laptop case manufacturer that I’ve ever ordered from. Unfortunately, they’re going out of business, which is why the order went in so early…
Anyway, my wife is taking a bit of a nap right now to recover from the Diablothon, and I’m taking it easy for a bit. I find I can’t take a nap in the middle of the day, mostly because it takes me so long to wake up afterwards. Since I was home Friday, I’m already a bit confused about what day it is and the floating un-reality of post-nap semiconsciousness is something that I don’t need to deal with tonight.
