Dear Diary: Today Was A Good Day

In a week that had been less than stellar, what allowed today to break that miserable trend? Well:

• lunch with McChicken and another friend, during which we mostly talked about video games and TV shows;
• a very nice after-dinner visit from Boneman followed by some online Resistance 2 Competitive and Cooperative collusion (cut unceremoniously short by a network disconnect on my end, but beggars can't be choosers);
• Vicki setting a new high score for Hexic on the XBox 360, along with a new revelation for something even more elaborate to try next time in the quest for ever-higher placements on the worldwide Hexic leaderboard (she's now in the Top 3000!);
• not having to shovel for a change!
  

See? It doesn't necessarily have to take that much for it to be a good day!
