This is a post that was going to go out on Monday, but due to a power outage that hit our place at just before 1400, I never got the chance to do so. More will be explained below.
Pink's Life
So where did I leave off?
Saturday was a day of errands. C and I hit That's Entertainment, where we picked up comics for me and big stuffed dice for Marcus. After that it was a lovely trip to WalMart. Yes, I remembered my keys this time. PetCo turned out to be a dud, as they didn't have anything we were looking for. Lunch at Arby's, and then home for a little while.
So later on in the afternoon, I head to Best Buy in Marlboro to purchase my tape deck and have it installed. Very little problem there. I managed to hit the Borders out there for some perusal, but they didn't have anything that was on my list. (I think I'll have to order from Amazon sometime.)
So I christen my new stereo with ZZ Top's "Tube Snake Boogie," Roger Waters' "The Bravery of Being Out of Range (Live)," and Tull's "Jump Start." It sounds really good in there. This morning's ride into work was narrated by Dick Marcinko reading Green Team.
That night was spent at my parents' place for grilled burgers and good convo, as well as presents for Marcus.
Sunday was the game, me running HackMaster. I don't know how they're managing this, but they haven't had a single combat yet in this module. Wow.
So now we're into Tuesday.
Monday turned out to be a lot of fun, with the power outage. Just before the power went, some of our office staff thought that there was a *BOOM* outside. Well as it turned out, a transformer nearby blew up. I was given then go ahead to leg it around 1630, so I did. Not much I could do around here, what with the PCs, network and phones being completely down. (Phones are on a T1 line. No power, no phones.)
But as of Tuesday morning, we're at like 70% capability. We have phones, we have power. We can do internal emails.
We have no contact with the outside world, net-wise. No outside emails. Supposedly, we should have the rest up and running in a little while. I hope so, at least.
Tonight, we have our last childbirth class. Before that, C will be meeting up with a child psychology student who's doing some sort of study. I can't be there for that, as that shindig starts around 1730, and I don't get out of work until then. So I'll just meet her there for the class. If I happen to be running late due to a customer calling in, I won't have to worry about picking C up at home.
So Monday, I finally tried one of the McGriddle sandwiches from Mickey-D's. Somehow, I thought the pancake bits
would be bigger. I had put this off for so long because I just couldn't get my head wrapped around the concept of maple and cheese together. But after tasting the sandwich, I decided it wasn't bad. Just wish it was a little
bigger.
Note: It's 1416, and we still don't have network access outside our own little world. Who knows when this will get out.
Earliest that the T1 people will be coming: 1700.
End of day.

As was mentioned before, I'm running a HackMaster game, finally. Yet I'm finding I'm not really into it as much as I had hoped. Perhaps it's just the timing of it, with Marcus on the way and all.
I've been getting another idea or two for the future... of course, Hack20 is still in mind, but in looking back to a campaign that was Celtic/Irish-based, and that holds some appeal for me. I'll see what may turn up in thoughts as I work on other things.
That's all I have
Nothing more to report
Carry on
