My day job involves helping complete enrollments for Medicare Advantage member for a large non-profit HMO and that means our busy period is just about to being as the Annual open enrollment period starts today. In anticipation of the hours to come I took Friday and Monday off from last week and this week giving myself a 4-day weekend. I didn’t go out and do anything special. No trips out of town, no shows, just a longer than usual weekend with one role-playing game sandwiched in the middle on Saturday.

That game is a Space Opera  game with the original rules published by FGU back in the distant past of 1980. One of the players and a dear friend for decades hosting the group of us at his office allowing the players and myself as game master, to be as loud as we wish since at that time of the day and week there is no one to disturb. It’s been a real blast revisiting this game system I haven’t run in ages and everyone appears to be having a great time. Even if every mission the players are dispatched on doesn’t quite turn out the way that they hoped.

I had also planned this weekend to finally see It: Chapter Two  at nearly three hours its running time makes it a very difficult film to schedule during my usual week. Sadly Sunday afternoon I started with a minor migraine and canceled my seat reservation. By the evening I was not disabled from the pain but distracted enough that I would have not enjoyed the film.

At least I was feeling fine Sunday morning so my sweetie-wife and I could enjoy our customary Sunday trip to the Zoo and lunch out together. Pictures to follow soon.

All in all it was a pleasant long weekend and now I am reading and refreshed to get back to work at my day job and complete reviewing the galley’s for Vulcan’s Forge  coming out in March of 2020.
