WFE

Erica's vacation week went by quickly. Glad she was able to get so much grandparent time. I took one of the days off, but mostly had a reasonable work-week. I finished a game and played some Magic. With the new set out, there are so many things I want to try, but the thing about clever ideas for new decks is that most of them don't work.

I enjoyed having the chance to catch up with Markos and Michi and their friend and housemate, Adam over lunch today. Erica also got in a playdate with Isaac and I had the chance to say hi to Anne on my weekday off, though Dan was absent (probably busy with work).

Erica enjoyed playing Score Four on a set I didn't remember seeing before, maybe my parents got that from my grandparents' stuff after I'd already left for college? I'm a bit confused by that because I went through a phase as a kid where I was really into Connect Four, and I'd expect this game would have been memorable to me if I'd seen it earlier because it's quite similar to that. Surprised me a bit to learn that the game came out six years before Connect Four. Erica had no problem grasping the game, though I think I still have the advantage unless I'm really tired.

Apparently Erica is also quite good at Set. I'll have to play some games of that with her because I am quite bad at that game and she'll relish the opportunity to win.
