Spent the afternoon at a games party at the home of c_nocturnum and her husband. I was feeling quite wiped out with the weekend schedule but in fact this worked out quite well. After some initial socializing I ended up in a group playing Apples to Apples. c_nocturnum and mairi2 were also in this group. There is not much to the game, but it provides endless opportunities for comments, jokes, and light conversation about the subject matter. This was exactly what I needed. I never came close to winning any of the three games but it did not matter–it was great fun.

Meanwhile, mia_mcdavid was in the other room in a rather more competitive game of Trivial Pursuit. She also had a good time, and after my game broke up I watched the conclusion there, where c_nocturnum‘s husband won in time to let us go home before it was too late..
