Technonerdboys, A Curse As Dark As Gold, and virtual walks

Above: techie pic of the day. I took this photo during a gaming session at Mark Thompson's house. Anyone else out there familiar with the (now ancient) Macintosh Portable?



Speaking of technonerdboys...check out the photo of my friend Walter above (Walter photo taken by Phil Mills), printed out by Walter's gaming pals and posted up on the gaming room wall beside the photo of famed German board game designer, Reiner Knizia. Heh. For those of you that missed my post, Walter dressed up as Urban Tapestry's Seventies Guy in our concert at FilKONtario.

My friend Craig and I checked out Cluck, Grunt and Low last night, a new-ish restaurant in the neighbourhood that specializes in slow-cooked food. I had a pulled chicken sandwich and collard greens:



The pulled chicken was ok but not great. Loved the biscuits and gravy, though:



I got hooked on biscuits and gravy because of my visit to Atlanta. Craig and I also really enjoyed the Wild Turkey ice cream (Wild Turkey as in the booze, not the fowl).



I've been stepping up my reading lately, and not just the instruction book to my new serger, either! Recent read: A Curse As Dark As Gold by Elizabeth C. Bunce, a recommendation by The Flying Dragon. Anyone who likes Shannon Hale's books is sure to enjoy this retelling of Rumplestilskin. I LOVED this book.

Also stepping my outdoor exercise. I LOVE THIS WEATHER! Even when it rains, I love to go walking -- it's such a relief not to have icy sidewalks.

Virtual Walk Update

So I've walked over 50 km (about 31 miles) on my Virtual Con Walk, so far.



Crossed over the James N. Allan Skyway Bridge across Burlington Bay yesterday (photo below is from this Wikipedia entry).



Now I'm on the way to visit my friends Erin and Rand in Buffalo before heading to Columbus!
