- Had a 0900 miniatures sea battle game but was so tired so just kept sleeping. Then the afternoon relaxing in my room and watching Twitch.
- Dinner at Amakai Japanese Cuisine with Dave W and family (CSr and Dave S were sitting at next table; it's a small place). Food ok though Sophia complicates things.
- Rainbow. Dave S, CSr, Dave P, Eric R (via video call), mjm. I think I had five or six drinks.
- Dave S, CSr and I retired to my room and talked layoffs. Mostly they talked.
Sun Feb 19 2023
Sleep 0315 to 0915.
- Session 545 StarFleet Battles : The Mutara Nebula cancelled. Oh well, was probably going to drop by and watch a bit.
- Actually did wake up early so went to see War College. First seminar was "Update on the Continuing War in Ukraine" presenters James Armstead and Victoria Juharyan. Mostly historical/cultural background on Ukraine and some about the current war.
- Lunch at HiroNori Craft Ramen. Was actually pretty good I think though Sophia wasn't impressed. There's also one in San Mateo.
- Second War College seminar: "Strategic U.S. Planning with a War in Ukraine, an Aggressive China, and Control of the Moon" A presentation on India strategic situation. Then a presentation on using Transactional Costs to view history and predict the future.
- Dinner at the hotel (Bosc + Bartlett restaurant). Bacon cheeseburger was good. Chocolate mousse was good though couldn't tell if it was better or worse than average.
- Naval Battles late game. Dave S (UK) beat CSr (Germany) and I (Japan)
Mon Feb 20 2023
Sleep 0630 to 0900, 1/2 hour nap. (3 hours)
- Breakfast at the hotel. Not quite as good as San Ramon Marriott.
- A bit of Cora Quest though we ran out of time and had to check out.
- Lunch at Iguanas Burritozilla. Had a carnitas burrito and it was ok but not as good as the one at my work.
- Lost my new driving glasses. Darn. At least backups work fine.
- Drive home. Dropped off Dave S at the Millbrae BART.

- Recovering from DDC. Catch up on email and mail.
Wed Feb 22 2023
Sleep 0330 to 1130, 1 hour nap. (9 hours)
- Twitch 6-month re-subscriptions are coming up and the email indicates they're going to charge me full price. I guess I'll have to let my subscriptions lapse and go month-to-month then wait for subtember sale.
Thu Feb 23 2023
Sleep 0315 to 1130. (8-1/4 hours)
- No nap although I was tired. Instead I spent an hour walking and reading and that helped relieve the sleepiness.
- "NLPC seeks to kick Tim Cook, Al Gore from Apple board of directors". The NLPC statement is one of those "We're saying we're far-right idiots without saying it explicitly."

Sleep 0315 to 1100. (7-3/4 hours)
- Spent an hour leveling up two DDO characters to level 7. I quite like this run with my brother.
- Csr not playing tonight. Played a bit with my Bladeforged.
- During DunDraCon finally decided to abandon B&B cause I haven’t been feeling it. Will start prepping a Dungeon Fantasy campaign.
