Gawd, what fun we had gaming last night! *laugh* Our friends Pat and Melissa decided to join the game, so we actually have SIX players! Wow! SIX! *falls right over* The game is set in 1890s New Orleans, and we’ve come up with a fairly astonishing array of characters, ranging from my quadroon street rat to Jack’s linguistic scholar, whom he is playing so well it’s screamingly funny.

Then yesterday Chanti and I were out for a walk and another woman whom we’ve seen before (with her baby boy) stopped and asked how often I walked my dog, because…
