When IT spends an hour fiddling with your computer to no avail and eventually has to export a copy of your registry to fiddle with on a test machine, you know things are going well! 
Today was one of the health walks that the AMA wellness department puts on. Now that I'm switching over toschoolpsychnerd's insurance, finishing up the various program milestones to get the monetary credit on my insurance costs is pointless. But going on walks gets me out of the office, and the walk this time was to Christkindlmarket. How can I pass that up, even if it is -7°C out and Chicago windy? After a stop at the bank to withdraw money, I arrived...and the line for the cookies I was going to get was too long. And then the line for pretzels was too long. But there was one line that wasn't long at all and it led to food that was delicious:
Cherries!
We got them last year when we went and I wasn't going to turn down the opportunity to get one now. I'm I didn't get a cookie during my stair climbing earlier today. This was much better.
I also just bought a bunch of the old Warcraft TCG cards--two druid starter packs for about $10 each. I've started playing Hearthstone, and it's okay. I like how it takes advantage of the electronic format to create cards that would only work when a computer that can handle all the calculations, but it also leads to cards like Rod of Roasting. The physical card game is a ripoff of Magic the way most post-Magic TCGs are,schoolpsychnerd and I played a bit with the cards we got for free from my Burning Crusade CE and it was fun. Maybe she can build a warrior deck and we can play again!
