Diary - Feb 18 to Feb 24 2023

Sat Feb 18 2023

Sleep 0330 to 1230. (9 hours)

  • 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.

Tue Feb 21 2023

Sleep 0230 to 1030. (8 hours)

  • 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)

  • Spent an hour leveling up two DDO characters to level 7. I quite like this run with my brother.

  • During DunDraCon finally decided to abandon B&B cause I haven’t been feeling it. Will start prepping a Dungeon Fantasy campaign.
