The Aerie

Craziness

Didn't remember that Dave Arneson was going to show up at Professor Barker's last night. Very interesting visit. Half the night was spent at desultory Tekumel gaming, but about halfway through Dave began to expound upon his relationship with the Prof.

Carefully complimentary, Dave scolded Phil for not working harder to recover from his broken hip while simultaneously crediting him with creating the first and best role-playing game (his terms).

I got home late, got to bed at 1:45 a.m., but then I'm up again at 5:30 due to difficulties. Today will be wierd. First I'll head off to the gym, then I have to go to my Aunt Marian's funeral. After that, I have to get ready for D's long-delayed 9th birthday sleepover. Immediately followed that tomorrow, we start our 12-hour LOTR movie marathon!

So off we go...
