I had Dave and Darren over on Saturday night to partake of some arcade gaming on the projector. We started out with a little bit of Caveman Ninja and followed it up with some other games, including Captain Commando - hence the title. Anyway, we managed to play until it was far too late - time slips away when you’re having fun like that.

Yesterday, I didn’t do a whole lot, other than put up the roller blinds that we’ve been meaning to put up for about 4 years. I don’t know why we didn’t do it before, but once I got around to it, it didn’t take more than a half hour from start to finish, including figuring out how to take the valence off the wall, so I could get the drill in there to mount the brackets. The end result is that it’s a lot darker in the bedroom when the sun is out.

Speaking of which - The Sun Is Out - it’s a beautiful day in Saskatoon, and it’s expected to be beautiful for the rest of the week. The sun is shining, the snow is melting (again) and it was bright out when I was waiting for the bus this morning. It’s just one of those days when it feels great to be alive.

Speaking of which - Erin, William and John are on the road right now, on their way back to Saskatoon. It sounds like William missed me quite a bit (which works out well, ’cause the feeling is mutual) and hopefully that means he’s got giggles in store for when they get home tonight. I actually fired up the William slideshow last night just before bed. It’ll be good to have them back home, I know Erin and William are both pretty tired of not being at home, and I’m tired of them not being at home too.
