There was a modest email storm about this, but I reckon if the most you can complain about is bright glaring lights, you don't have it too bad.

I was looking at my copy of Belter the other day. Belter is a GDW board game (designed by Marc W. Miller, who also did Traveller) about mining the asteroids, mostly economic in nature with a bit of combat. Now, I don't recall ever playing this, but I see marked up sheets and such (the market for ore and gases for instance) that look like my handwriting. Either I played it and forgot about it, or the previous owner has writing that looks like mine.

I see that Magic Realm has a java engine, I may play with that a few times, quicker than setting up the whole game, if worse for my wrists.

In a final gaming tidbit, I'm still searching for my $10 or under copy of Panzer Leader on ebay. I'm getting closer.

Irish_girl stopped by last night while Mrs. Ha was at dance class, so I gave her a Jaffa cake, there are only two left (four year old likes to dis-assemble them and eat the chocolate coating separately) She ended up buying a Subaru, a 94 I think.  She's tired from her new job and moving home, and she and Mrs. Ha had a nice long uninterupted chat while I dealt with the brats. It was nice to have adult company.

I am too tired to do much more on this diary, and I still have my WFC entry, "How Ed Hulver Got Kissed, Got Wild and Got Some Little People" to finish.
