Summertime geeks

So, it was a pretty spectacular day yesterday, eh? We had the house wide open as we gave it a good spring cleaning (finally!) and I sure worked up a sweat, but we still had a chance to take a walk down to the lake and enjoy the weather.

The evening time brought Soapy, Dingo, Johnbai, Neds and Mr. X over for an RPG night. We launched a new campaign (alt-history colonial North America) using a new game system (GURPS instead of D&D). Things went pretty well, considering we were all new to the system and some new to RPG altogether. In any case, much laughter was laughed, too much food and drink was consumed, and we may even have generated a new catch phrase or two.

After a late night to bed, Otis and I were awakened pretty early by some guy practicing his kung-fu in the alley, so we made a good start on the day. We have already taken a power-walk around the walk, and we'll see what else this first full day of summer holds. I guess the "solstice moment" here was actually yesterday at 4:59 pm, so the days are getting shorter now, baby - make the most of them!
