It was 1984 at my house last night. No not the book or anything surreal like that, literally it felt like 1984. Why? I was playing a Dead Boy's RECORD (yes, actual vinyl) while some friends, the kid, and me all played D&D. I know. I know. But it was the kid's first exposure and she had fun. She rolled an assassin and we did a small campaign to get everyone familiar with the rules. I was playing with kids who weren't even alive when I first played D&D.
During the day, we ran a couple of errands, came home, did some more rearranging around the house, watched a few X-Files episodes, and had dinner. I made crawdads, mac&cheese, and corn on the cob.
I did meet up with a friend for coffee in the afternoon. She is looking for work and did what's known as a 'networking' meeting. It's where you invite a friend to a non-threatening locale and then casually ask about jobs and work without coming right out and asking. It's actually very effective.
42 hours until my birthday.
