My 3 good things from Saturday:
1. Ordered beer online from the 2 best breweries in the greater DFW area, then drove downtown to pick up my orders. The breweries are 5 minutes apart and both made it easy. Rolled down my window, gave them my name, they asked where I wanted the beer to be placed, I told them, and they loaded me up. Easy. I never got out of the truck and was never closer to anyone than 8 feet or so. I have some great beer and I have directly helped two businesses that I desperately want to see survive this.
2. Won 4 straight game of
Pandemic Legacy Season 2. Perhaps we are being a bit morbid but I survive bad stuff with gallows humor and this is a game we loved long before the current situation started. For those of you who like board games that are different from the norm, this is a great one. I'd recommend getting the standard
Pandemic game first though. The Legacy editions are tough and are good for only a single playthrough (although that playthrough can last a year or more).
3. Got to do video happy hour with some good friends I was supposed to see live yesterday. The first weekend in April is the traditional opening of the local renaissance festival where I work as the host of the beer tasting. Obviously that didn't happen. In fact, the festival was officially cancelled for this season this week. Anyway, I have a lot of good friends that I have known for years that I really only see when the festival is open and we are all working weekends. It was good see all of them, have a pint together and see how everyone is coping.
BONUS - It was cold and rainy here and because the festival has been cancelled I remained warm and dry all day when I otherwise would have been outside in the cold and wet.
