Awww, JC, isn’t that right sweet of you wishing me luck! 
[giggle] I’m actually looking forward to playing England. I’m trying to see how quickly I can get it completely taken over. 
Any of y’all care to take bets on this? 
celestina, Queen of England
Jeez, try to keep things moving and they pounce!
I have orders for all except Celestina for Fall 1904.
That will resume on Thursday, April 18.
I don’t see any reason to depart from the schedule for 983. Abe, get to work.
Spring 1903: Tuesday, April 16.
Um, JC, according to the Dip 983 game website, if I read it right, Winter 1902 was just adjudicated. We’re on Spring 1903, and those orders are due on Tuesday, April 16. How can I owe you orders for Fall 1904?
Ooh.
Damn. Wrong game.
Then flip that.
Now I’m getting all confused. Someone pity the boy!
It’s okay, Sweetie. I just thought maybe you were testing me to see if I actually knew what year we are on and when to turn in orders.
Because I’m black-hole-dense. . .
Dip 983 moves are due Tuesday, April 16 and
Dip 936 moves are due Thursday, April 18,
Right?
Celestina, thank you so much for stepping in for me. And Jonathan, thanks for your understanding.
In Sponte news, mom is out of the hospital, but nephew Sponte is going to be in for a while longer (though he did break 3 pounds this weekend).
Sua
Glad to hear the good news, Sua
Our second was in the Neo-natal ICU for only a week when she was born, and was the biggest one there. It just feels wrong to leave the hospital without the baby.
My best wishes for you and all of your family, SuaSponte. Sad to see you leave the game, but I have to admit you didn’t quite make a proper Queen.
(insert Jonathan Chance’s gratuitous Freddie Mercury reference here)
You’re welcome, Sua. I’m glad that I can help. I’m also glad to hear that your mother is doing better, and I hope that all will be well for you and your family. Hang in there, hon.
celestina, Queen of England
[giggle] Gosh, I love the sound of that title. :0)
There ain’t NOTHING gratuitous about a Freddie Mercury reference!
Ever!
[snotty 7 yr old]
Well, if you love Freddie Mercury so much, why don’t you marry him?
[/snotty 7 year old]
Well, because he’s DEAD, duh!
Plus, I never did like satin underwear. Too slippery!
Glad to hear your mom’s better, Sua! And, at 3 pounds, your nephew’s hot on Emma Kate’s trail.
Now, back to the last moments of calm before adjudication.
Well, since I’ll be adjudicating at noon today (last second short delay, sorry) you’ll have more than enough time to work yourself into a frenzy, RT…
Nah, they haven’t turned the A/C on in my office, so I’ve got a few short hours to get some work done before my brain fries. It’s already 83° in here, and it’s still early.
It’s freezing here. The new space we’re in is as hard to heat as the Capital Centre ever was.
It’s now 86° in here. Maybe we should trade offices at lunchtime?
OK, so we’re on opposite sides of the metro area. Piddly details.
