Three things for a Saturday post

Oh Lost Dog, how I miss you. News that you're on track to reopen by the end of February is indeed good, but better news would be that you were open today. Or if not, that you were willing to drop by my place with a chargrilled chicken sandwich and sweet potato fries.

Last night was game night at Josh's-- I tried to convince a friend to join me, but as a non-game player he was afraid he'd slow the group down. I pointed out that for the more complicated games my general strategy was to just hang out and amuse myself by making pretty designs with my trains/armies/tokens representing peasants, etc. but he wasn't buying it. His loss--the rest of us had a good time playing Trains, though with 5 players the board quickly fills up.

I have tons of errands to run today. I also need to spoil myself a little this weekend, and am at a loss for how to do so. My TBR stack means I don't need a book shopping spree. There isn't a movie that I desparately want to see in the theaters. It's so bitterly cold I'm not inspired for a drive up to Ithaca to wander around. I'm not philosophically opposed to a little retail therapy, but there's nothing I need and no cool gadget that I've been waiting to buy. And I'm not the kind of person who enjoys a clothes shopping spree.

Hmm. I suspect this requires more thought, and another cup of coffee. Or two.
