I'm Back from Mini-Vacation

Yes, I'm back, and here for one of my semi-regular posts. I was up in St. Louis for a couple days with the parents, trying to have fun--and I kinda succeeded. Short recap as follows. Science Center: Good, but kiddie themed just a bit much. Galleria Mall: Big--better for people with money. Art Museum: Pretty damn cool. Botanical Gardens: Hot as hell, but the Japanese garden rocks. City Museum: Well...y'gotta see it for yourself. Total people overload. Len, you'd hate it--imagine a thousand people, all talking as loudly as possible, then add in another thousand screaming kiddies.

Along the way, between allergies and recurring personal problems, I did get...really pissed at my parents twice over the last three days. That was bad. Really bad fight this morning--but I think this round of it has passed, thank goodness. I hate, hate, hate being pissed at my parents.

Finally, I played in my first HeroClix tournament in about three months--no, five. It was pretty cool. It was a sealed draft, and I pulled an okay team. I fought really, really well, even though I didn't win any. It really helped that Nathan was absent, and that I got to fight three great, fairly evenly matched players. Len, by the way, the game was awesome--remind me, I'd like to play some more games, just for fun.

Anyway...a mixed week. Good, bad, and the so-so, all mixed. I'll take that. And, I didn't really spend any money, so that's a huge plus. Later, y'all.

It sounds like you had a lot of fun on your trip. I've got a few pics from when I went to Botanical Gardens for the Japanese Festival--if I find them, I'll let you check them out.

As far as HeroClix, I'll try to remember to keep some stuff on hand and we can get a pickup game going.
