March 26th, 2018:

	What a weekend...  I spent Saturday running around shopping with 
Mrs. IPX and the kid.  The most excitement we had was being barred from 
entering our local Superstore (due to an electrical fire).  It was weird, 
firefighters blocked entrance to the building, but not the underground 
parking... even as we were being directed to leave the underground lot, 
they were still allowing cars in.  Quite the display.

We ended up driving across town to the Superstore near the University of 
Manitoba, a 20 minute drive that took an hour due to traffic.  The weather 
was warm and dry, which didn't help my sinuses any... they were aggravated 
by the dust and dirt kicked up by traffic, and flared up pretty bad 
Saturday night.  The missus and I relaxed on the couch Saturday evening, 
and started watching "Are You Being Served?" from the beginning.  I called 
it "BritBox and Tea", our version of "Netflix and Chill".

I was sidelined Sunday.  My sinus infection came back with a vengeance, so 
I spent much of the day either in bed or on the couch.  Rather than watch 
Sesame Street reruns, I fired up my Lombard and played Dungeon Explorer in 
MagicEngine (the PC Engine emulator) for a few hours.  I've forgotten how 
much fun this game is!  I got about halfway through the game before 
calling it quits so I could nap.

The rest of the evening was spent reading through old AD&D modules (first 
edition) and familiarizing myself with Unearthed Arcana, one of the 
hardcover addendum/rulebooks that came out near the end of my original 
playing days.  Don't know that we ever actually used any of the new stuff 
in the book back in the day, although we *DID* delve into the Manual of 
the Planes rulebook that came a but later.  Fun stuff.  Some days, I kinda 
miss it, but while it's fun to reminisce, I really don't want to get back 
into playing the game again.

Besides, in another month the snow will be gone and it'll be cycling 
season for me again...
