Saturday
I met Perry for coffee this morning and then hung out with and this afternoon. Nox and I went to check out a computer store that another friend had mentioned to me. Not a bad place, overall, but their prices were a little high. We then stopped at Dr. Volt’s and partook of their back issue sale. We met up with Nyx and her parents for lunch.

and I made a trip to Best Buy. *genuflect* I looked at – but did not purchase – a few items for my computer. I did pick up Chris Sawyer’s Locomotion, because I really enjoyed its predecessor, Transport Tycoon. And, it was cheap. And, it’s something that and I can play together. I also picked up an expandable phone system – to be used with the Vonage adapter; it came with two phones and two base units. Now, I can have a phone in the HCC and she can have one upstairs. And, if we need to add up to two more remote phones, we can.

We then went to ‘ place and cooked out. Bratwurst. Beer. Good company. And Sigfried and Roy. (You had to be there.) We ate and chatted away a few hours before heading south to Cheers.
