Monday – 16 February 2009
Another work week begins… but at least it’s a short week.

The Splendid Heritage exhibit was amazing.  It displayed pieces of Native American art while detailing the pieces’ artistic and cultural significance. On display were such things as clothing, weaponry, a winter count, and even childrens’ toys. There were also a number of “touch stations,” where visitors could actually handle samples of items. The exhibit runs from 09 February 2009 through 03 January 2010; I think that it would make an excellent family – or even date – outing.

Last night, Chris and I got together to play a (or “yet another”) game of HeroClix. We’d settled on the Avengers vs. JLA for our teams. I played the JLA:

  • Batman
  • Black Lightning
  • Flash
  • Green Arrow
  • Green Lantern
  • Martian Manhunter
  • Superman
  • Wonder Woman and
  • Zatanna

Chris fielded the Avengers:

  • Box
  • Captain America
  • Dr. Strange
  • Hercules
  • Iron Man
  • Ms. Marvel
  • Spider-Man (Iron Spider/Civil War costume)
  • Wolverine

We played on the masterboard I took to the tournament a couple of weeks ago, with one modification: I finished the new corner – gas station/garage, single room apartment and armory. I didn’t put roofs on the new buildings, so that we could have some indoor space in which to play and we took the shelter off of the gas pumps, so that we could play in the space under it. We played a two-hour game and at the end of it, I won on points, 412 – 213. Pictures of the game and actual board can be seen here.

And that’s a wrap… for now.

Namaste.
