Depositing the summer's check's (5 check's worth up front, since I take the 26 equal pay period option, added to Bush's tax rebate). Woo-hoo!
Having Cheyenne jump on the bed at 9:30 and stare at us, saying, "Why the Hell aren't you up yet?" Bad dog!
Deanna's parents are here, and they're helping with the house -- doing work in and painting the basement. They are good, nice folk, and I'm feeling guilty that Deanna is "making" them work! I, of course, just want to kick back and relax for a few days, but it looks like I'll have to start working today...
Packing books and games seems to be the first order, and I also have to power wash the house and the deck. We have to paint the deck, too, but that shouldn't be too bad. A colleague's daughter is interested in looking at the house, and that would be cool if it worked out, though I think we're pretty much out of her price range. So that being the case, we'll probably shoot for mid-July to officially get it on the market (but I can hope things work out!).
All this will curtail gaming for a while, though I'll have my "favorites" box and my "WBC" box handy (much cross-over between the 2, obviously). Maybe I'll do another Israeli Independence and post an AAR as that doesn't take too much time.
On Sunday I plan to go with a couple friends to Seneca Niagara Casino and play a bit of poker. About 90% sure I'm going, as this may be my last "play date" for a while. Other than a little online, I haven't played as much Texas Hold 'Em as I'd like to as of late...OK, off to packing!
Woo-hoo!

Sounds like someone forgot to tell Cheyenne that her "hours" would be changing :)
Our second dog was used to being fed at about 6AM . Once my parents were away and I slept in....til about 8AM or so . When I woke up, I had a large set of eager eyes staring right at me from about six inches away . As soon as I opened my eyes, ATTACK !
So Rob is taking a sabbatical from gaming for awhile. Let me know when you want to go out for a couple beers some night.
Cheyenne is generally pretty good on the weekends, so I can't complain.
Gypsy was great -- if we wanted to sleep in until noon or later, she'd let us. I think Cheyenne's been good to about 11:00, assuming she doesn't have to "go."
I wouldn't say I'm taking a sabbatical, Mike, but I will have to game "smarter" for awhile. I believe Boulder shipped my Espana 1936 today, so...
