On Saturday, after crawling out of bed at a very late hour, we lunched at our favorite Thai restaurant before making an impromptu visit to a couple of used bookstores. Sadly, the industry is dying as more and more folks reach through the Internet to secure their reading material. We then finally watched Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. No wonder that movie topped at the charts. Dined at a local Italian chain restaurant before a fight with both our laptops. (We won. At 5:30 AM.)
Sunday began with yet another late start. Coffee sustained me as I gamed with my gaming brethren as Dogs in the Vineyard. Very, very different from the usual hack-n-slash. In this rpg, we took on the roles as "paladins" in pre-state Utah out to rid the world of evil under the auspices of the King of Life. Amazing how fast one gets self-righteous.
Things went wrong after dinner. Spouse complained of stomach pains after a hearty meal over at the local Marie Callendars. Exploded into a major worship of the porcelain throne starting at 3:00 AM, finally ending around 6:30 AM or so this morning as the last of the food poisoning finally ran its course. Both of us called in sick; the spouse, for obvious reasons, while I was ready to call 911. Things finally stabilized later this evening with a hearty meal of fish.
