I'm still just staring down that rain!

As my time off continues . . . Bonnie and I slacked off again on Tuesday and Wednesday. Not completely – we certainly found stuff to do – but no work was involved, we didn't wake up at any particular time, and we made no specific plans. That's certainly something I could get used to! I'll keep on buying those lottery tickets, despite knowing better.

Yesterday, we got out to the Jardin botanique de Montréal for the first time in a while. When the inevitable rain came, we hid under arbors, in greenhouses, and beneath various large plants until it blew over. The place was looking good – indeed, just after a little rain is the best time to see plants – and we had a great afternoon. Later on, we grabbed some sushi. All in all, it was a good day.

Today involved more goodbye activities for our friends M. & Y. A gang of us took them out to Nil Bleu for some Ethiopian food. Then we came back to ours for cupcakes. Bonnie and I made two varieties: white chocolate cheesecake with whole strawberries and raspberries on top, and chocolate-orange. It was a fun evening, although as I said before, it's sad to see friends leaving town.

The Company

On June 21, we had Bonnie ("Xiang Wen," a.k.a. "Wu Xie Zhi"), Marc ("Anabel Windsor," a.k.a. "Abigail Wilson"), Martin ("Zhu Zhang," a.k.a. "Harold Lee"), and Mike ("Vincenzo Calliente," of many aliases). Torsten ("Qoqa Ramazanov," a.k.a. "Zoya Petrovna Sidorov") was out of town. For those following the campaign: We didn't game on June 14 because I had a terrible sinus infection, and we didn't play on June 28 because I had the day off and was out of town for much of the day.
