Father's Day Fun

So on the momentous occasion of one's inaugural Father's Day one was lucky enough to be gifted special dispensation from one's beloved Salsa Girl to have a select couple of gamers around for an afternoon of gaming.

Of course this young man's thoughts turned to the Commands and Colors (sic) series of games and hence the invite went out to Badger and Young Jim who both eagerly accepted.

We engaged in slightly more than an afternoon to complete two close and fun games. Unfortunately we did alter the course of history with William the Conqueror doing rather a lot less conquering than expected under the guidance of Young Jim and yours truly - it was rather reminiscent of the debacle we had when Poland stopped the German invasion dead in it's tracks. Anyway there were snacks and tactics and tense dice rolls and lots of fun. We'll have to do it again next year. Or sooner I suppose.


Speaking of occasions today happens to be the awesome occasion of Salsa Girl and I having embarked upon our grand adventure two years (and a leap day) ago. Of course Hulk has now joined us to make it a family undertaking for the next 18 years and beyond of further adventure - the downside being that there's not a lot of opportunity to make celebratory cake while we're still adjusting ourselves to the Hulk-focused lifestyle.

Time seems to have gotten quite late so I'd best head off to bed now and make a start on my daily four hours of sleep. You'll hear more from me later.
