Gaming
Got to hang out with my BFF a couple times this week. The first time he was really wanting me to teach him Agricola, which he had just gotten in a trade. So we played the family game and... he destroyed me... It was really pitiful... His score was roughly half again of mine, even though it was his first game.
Guess I'm just a good teacher 
The second time we got to hang out was for his birthday and he was wanting to play Agricola again, this time with the occupations and minor improvements, so we shuffled up the basic deck and got to it. Our hands of cards were near polar opposites, with him having heavy animal combos via food bonuses when taking wood and for having sheep. I on the other hand was double plowing at the cost of food and planing veggies on an improvement, ending the game with 8 plowed spaces. In the end he had zero gain/veggies and I had zero animals (never even fenced in a pasture) and he just barely won by 3 points. Was a great game.
Then yesterday my mom, uncle dad and sis came over for some food, so while the ladies chit chatted, the guys got in some Crokinole. We played a total of 4 games, with the first 2 being pretty one sided in my favor, but then we stopped half way through the 3rd game to eat. After dinner I was a bit off my game and he kept scoring 5 points here, 10 there... ended up being roughly 10 rounds before I finally got in some nice center shots to seal the win. Our 4th game didn't go so well for me though as he made several center shots in a couple rounds and finally won one before needing to head home.
More Games
My auction / trade geeklist wrapped up nicely, netting enough gift cards to Cool Stuff Inc to let me order with some free shipping. I really enjoy Agricola (even though I don't get to play it often), so I intend to grab the big Premium Euro Token Box Set along with the Premium Token Storage Box. While I'm at it, I plan to buy a couple games off of my want list, namely: Dungeon Run and Troyes.
New Job
In case you've not been following along: I was promoted at my work recently to the new Technical Trainer / IT Guy. Today finishes up my first week in the position and so far it's been going really well. I'm having to relearn a lot of stuff that I haven't had to use in the last few years, but that's no biggie. It's really nice to finally be able to put my IT skills to good use and they're happy to hand over all the data I ask for in the process.
Now I just gotta work on not burying myself in too many projects
