October 2015 - I am a murderous ghost

Another month, another power outtage!!!!!!!!!!! We were eating dinner and again the power went out. This time, we brought blankets out on our patio and and just laid out and watched the storm. That's the way to do it ladies and gentlemen.

We liked it so much that we now read books out on the balcony in the nice warm winter air. This is what I like to call "me reading at night"

One of our friends that just joined our church came over with her couple of kids to play board games with us. We don't have very many games that are good for kids, but we did borrow a game called Robot Turtles from my brother. It's a fun game that teaches kids the concepts of computer programming. It combines two things that I love, board games and education, and it's not crappy either! After that we tried to modify some of our "older people" games to be suitable for kids. It worked out fine but probably not as good as actual kids games.

The company I work for hosted a conference for all of our clients and I and the other developers made a brief appearance to it and then we retreated back to our office, where we always have the lights turned off (of course). However, social interaction occurred! Emily and I went to a dinner at this sports bar/grill sort of place in Tempe, and Emily got to meet the people that I work with and she said I described our humorous dynamics very well (yaknowwhatImsaying?)

You  know those people we played board games with last month through MeetUp.com? Well, we did it again, but this time we had a halloween party and played played the epic Cthulu themed game Arkham Horror. We stopped one of the Ancient Ones from coming into the world and destroying humanity. No big deal. I think it's name was Shub-Niggurath or something along those lines.  We had one more person show up this time which hopefully means our group is growing. We just need to keep watering it and give it plenty of sunshine.

What did we do for Halloween is the question I know has been on everyone's mind. Well there's a game called Betrayal at the House on the Hill, which I've never played before. Halloween night we got together with some friends and explored this really creepy mansion. Emily of course managed to find a dog to love and cherish. At one point, "the haunting" occurred and I was deemed to be the traitor and I had to go out and read my story. Turns out I was a murderous ghost trying to stop the others from escaping a house which was sinking into an underground lake! How wonderful!



You know what we're going to do? We're going to decorate for Christmas immediately. I'm sick of decorating for Christmas and then before you know it, we have to tear it all down. No, not this time my dear friends. We're going to have more time to enjoy it and you can't stop us. Mwahahahaha!
