No EHSQ due to the death of Tom’s wife’s mother. (See text messages.)
NYBD (8493–97). Only eleven attendees due to the very cold weather. Terrible wintertime dermatitis outbreak on my face, yet Kaz’n nevertheless said I was cute. Told Chuck and Carlin about QPH’s complaints about how we’d left the place last month. Metagame and then Super Simon were played at the gaming table. Playing card mentioning Wagner reminded me of high‐school anecdote. I ate plenty of Ari’s leftover cookies, Chuck’s frosted carrot/coconut cake and Jon’s stupendous homemade brownies. John L. brought great summer sausage and smoked Cheddar/Swiss cheese, and Joe photographed the sausage with a tape measure alongside it. Glenn C. looked dashing in his long coat and fuzzy hat, and I temporarily put my own fuzzy hat back on to take his admission money.
