Labor Day weekend was not quite the carefree weekend that I had hoped. I had school work that I was planning to read through and hoped to work on some of my web projects too. Fortunately, I had a nice time talking with my friend Dave and got some game time in with friends Blain and Candace, but the weekend was a real depressing for me, especially Sunday.
My wife says that I go through periods of depression every year. I've been getting worse over the past couple weeks. She compared it to the movie Memento, although I'm not exactly sure why, since I can't ever seem to remember that I get this way. I got very depressed, feeling quite worthless. She said this is "normal" for me to go through. I'm not sure why. I can't find anything in previous blogs yet that point this out, although I do have a vague memory of her saying this happened the year before last.
Anyway, we played
Wyatt Earp, which I'm currently borrowing from Wyldwing, with Candace and Blain a couple times. I won the first game by a long shot by nearly shutting everyone out of one round and taking a big reward in just 3 turns. The second game was much closer. I had to play a Hideout on Candace to keep her from claiming a $15,000 reward all for herself, but in the end Beth won, beating Blain by $2000 and leaving Candace and I with only $17,000 each. Everyone had fun and suggested that I should buy this game for myself.
