Fans

Star Trek fans are the worst, Trekkie or Trekker.

And I do count myself among them.

I can be just as bad as the worst ones I’ve ever met.

I usually choose not to be.

If I ever start complaining about Star Wars, just shoot me.

I’m a comic book fan.  It’s never been about DC vs. Marvel, to me.

Said it before, I’ll say it again: I drink both, I prefer Pepsi over Coke.

Gloomhaven

Spent most of my afternoon organizing the gigantic boardgame known as Gloomhaven.

The box is massive, and is packed with rules, cards, miniatures, and lots of cardboard parts (tokens, counters, the board).

Luckily I found a cheap system to sort and store all the parts, involving some Plano tackle/storage boxes from Dick’s Sporting Goods.

The alternative is to get some laser cut storage solution that costs almost as much as the game.

Nice as it looks, I can’t justify it.

Game play report soon, I hope.

Lunch

Today a bunch of us trekked up Larkin Street and had lunch at Little Henry’s.

The last time I ate at a Little Henry’s was probably 30-odd years ago, at the one on Balboa St.  This one near work looked more or less the same as the one I’d been to many years ago.

The menu looked about the same, and this time I decided to have breakfast instead of lunch or dinner.

Steak and Eggs.  Medium and over hard.

It was about as tasty as any other time that I’ve had that meal, though the portion (i.e. the steak) seemed a bit small.

Others had onion soup, a pasta dish, a meatball sandwich, and a Joe’s Special.

All-in-all, it was satisfying and a bit nostalgic.

It’s the STAR WARS COUNTDOWN

Whoops

While chatting with co-workers this morning, I heard the distinctive sound of a small furry animal making scratching noises within my cubicle.

My co-worker helped me move a bunch of boxes from under the work surface where we both heard the sound.

We both opened large boxes that we thought the critter was hiding in, but found nothing.

I then moved the clutter of boxes to the freight elevator area for disposal.

I came back from lunch to hear than another co-worker had seen the little visitor running between cubicles, down the hall from my area.

I guess we disturbed and eliminated it’s home.

Calendars

I’m glad Amazon carries them now, and at discounted prices, close to the 25%-50% off that the mall calendar kiosks charge close to New Year’s Day.

The 2018 choices:

I just need to figure out which is for the office, and which is for home.
