Back to the grindstone...

Break is over, woe is me!

I did have a pretty relaxing time. Played games both at home (Santa Fe Rails), at Grant Ladue's (Santa Fe Rails, Dominion, Ivanhoe, Galaxy), at Mike Cardwell's (Hannibal: Rome vs. Carthage), as well as continuing my Texas Hold 'Em losing streak... At least I won about $20 last night, so maybe the end of my misery is in sight...

There are a lot of games I need to get on the table to be ready for the Niagara Boardgaming Weekend (NBW). Looking forward to getting away for 4 1/2 days of gaming, and it's only a month away! Last year, I played about 30 games at NBW, and I hope to surpass that total this year. I have procrastinated about getting a new passport (mine has expired), but I won't really need one until the summer, as a license and birth certificate will continue to do.

I'm not one for resolutions, but I really need to get back into a semblance of shape. Hopefully, now that the gluttony and lethargy of the holiday season is over, I can get started down a healthier path. I have some good motivation here, and that's key.

So, here's to a great 2009 -- the hope is for gaming, gaming, and more gaming, playing with and training Cheyenne, enjoying the great outdoors, and getting into shape. Wish me luck!
