Hey everyone! Just want to send out a session report for the annual gaming get-together in Indiana. It looked like we were going to have a small turnout this year but some late additions gave us a pretty good sized group. In all we played 15 games over about 14 hours or so. In addition to myself, Carol, Rachel, and my Mom, Beth, Jeff Spencer, his wife, Patty, Zoe and Ally Spencer, Paul Czarnota, Paul Seegers and my cousin, Drew Kidder were in attendance. This was Patty’s first time gaming with the group and she did very well! We’re very glad she could make it. We were also happy that having the session on Wednesday enabled Drew to stay for much longer than usual. Please note that most of the games below were new to the Spencers, the Pauls, and Drew. That’s the most logical explanation for my wins. :-)

My thanks to everyone who attended. And a special nod of encouragement to Jeff who, despite having been there many times before, managed to find my Mom’s house on only the third attempt! (Jeff says, “In my defense...I always knew which house it was, not by its look, or even address, but by its position as the first house on the right. Well, the bastards built another house! Now Beth’s house is the second on the right. I hereby absolve myself of all humiliation.”)
