Ugh

It's been a long few days. First off, I had a very good time at gaming weekend. For the first time I didn't play Apples to Apples most of the time (actually, I don't remember seeing anyone playing it... weird). I did play in Care Bear COC again, as Medical Malpractice Bear. Not nearly as funny a bear as I had hoped, but still a fun game. Yay to Shaughn! I also played in another game run by Nuance (darned if I remember the name) where I played a former carnie on the run from royalty? (heh. stranger and stranger) I had a great time with that too. And as usual, it's the people that make the weekend. Everyone was nice, fun and wonderful to spend time with. However, my weekend ended with a bang... or at least a very much broken new laptop. At least we have the extended warrenty, so the monitor is covered, and will be replaced, and there is no damage to the harware, the case is a little on the cracked side, but it wont be covered, or even easily fixed. Then yesterday, on his way to work, Glenn's car overheated, and it's been having so much trouble lately, we finally broke down and went to the dealer, and bought another car. It's a used 2003 Chevy something or other, w/ only 14,000 miles on it, and it's costing us less then $10,000 (after trading in Glenn's car for $1000) So, it could be worse, but it still stinks. And to top it all off, anyone notice the many police officers on the sides of the road in MA. yesterday? Glenn did... when he got a ticket for going straight in a right turn only lane (which he shouldn't have done, but gosh... another moving violation. He IS going to court for this one, though. And now, work work work....
