Quantum of Solace

tracker7After some casual games Friday night, I picked up a box of prepainted D&D minis. Given, I guess, my relative disinterest in the semi-organized D&D games at the store, this surprised the store owner and lead to several minutes of good-natured clowning.
I'm looking forward to running the D&D game, but I still have a hankering to play something. I'm burned out on Star Wars roleplaying, and Keith's abortive game didn't help that at all. Roll20 and PBP aren't showing anything especially appealing, and my very limited availability doesn't help that at all.
To my own surprise, I'm in pretty happy headspace this holiday week. I'm heading to Mom&Dad's early Thursday morning - missing Christmas Day, but whatever - and staying until Friday afternoon sometime. Gifts were handled a couple of weeks ago - should have wrapped them already, I guess. I hope Dad's surprised with the watches, both the new one and the repaired one.
Jesus, the repaired watch. It's been on my dresser for a couple of months; I just never took the time to find a repair. Google and Yelp (sigh) pointed me towards a shop over in Lyndon, and I think I saw sorcery in action when I went there. Less than 10 minutes, including cleaning and setting the date and time, and $10, including a new battery. The shop - it's a one-man show - makes his real money repairing watches for the jewelers in town, and takes walk-in customers for entertainment and pocket money.
