A good gaming weekend
Categories: A Case of the Mondays
It appears my sleep troubles were a one time thing. I slept fine all weekend, thank God.
Friday night I began what will hopefully be a long-term D&D campaign for some undergrad guys here at school. We have five good players and, if scheduling works out, I can see us having a fun, consistent game. For me, there was a bit of quality nostalgia as I watched these guys get all excited about the game, make Monty Python references, and crawl around the dungeon. All the players are pretty new to gaming, so they embrace all the things that tired, jaded players like me have almost forgotten. It's great. (We're playing the Age of Worms adventure path, btw).
Saturday we mucked around the house, cleaning and doing laundry. I cut the grass. We balied on our household duties early to go watch football at Lukes. Robbie joined us for awhile. Then we went over to some new friends of ours -- Jeannie and Jason -- for some poker. Jeannie is a new sociology professor at Winthrop and Jason works in Student Activities. Jeannie is also a Furman grad, class of 99, and we know a lot of the same people. We had a good time playing poker, although I was a bit distracted by the football games. Jeannie and Jason have a nice projector setup, so I watched the Ohio State/Texas and the SC/Georgia game after I busted out.
Sunday was church and IHOP, then the grocery store. I graded some papers while Sarah did an open house. Watched some of the Cowboys game and some of the Manning Bowl, but am just not as interested in pro football.
Now it's back to work. I have lots of writing to do as well as papers to finish grading. I'm working on an article called "The Hegemony of Google" and a paper on ethics and assessment.
