Humbled
… and other things I got beaten with.

So, this last trip up to Edmonton was a rather quick one although I packed a lot into the two days I had there. On Tuesday just as I arrived in town, I had dinner with my sister before game night with Tim and the ‘gang’ with the surprise addition of Brendan who brought his copy of the revised ‘Empire Builder’. It was fun although I had an odd combination of poor luck and lack of familiararity with the game that placed me dead last in a heat of 6…

On Wednesday, I was introduced to A Call to Arms: Babylon 5 Space Combat at GZ Games. Now, under the old Babylon 5 Wars I used to be pretty good at using my Earth Alliance fleet… but Jason wiped the floor with me and it wasn’t pretty, I licked my wounds just in time to go to the Harlequin’s play test of Oath of Stars and noted how truly out of his element my character was after taking a ‘me time’ break.. and leaving the rest of the player group – and opening a side plot that I have no idea where it’s going.

My early return to work on Thursday morning did prevent me from ‘taking the leap’ into the dating waters but given my poor luck – it may have been for the best. It was odd I really didn’t call anyone that I didn’t have plans with. Though I expect my next trip to be a Wed-Fri trip so we’ll see how that goes and if I chicken out again or not.

PS – I want to go to STOMP when it’s at the Jubilee in February, anyone else interested?
