One of many beautiful lakes in the area

Contrary to what you may have heard I was not abducted by aliens. B. and I were away this weekend to see her parents in Killaloe. Kill-a-what? Yes… it is a small town south east of the south East corner of Algonquin Park. Trips to Killaloe in the past have been fairly stressful endeavors. I won’t get into details but family get-togethers in Killaloe have generally been tense affairs with someone getting upset by the end of the visit. Thankfully this weekend went rather smoothly. It was a ‘Christmas’ visit so there were various presents exchanged. We got B.’s Dad a new computer. He was amazed at how fast it was. Heh. He was using a P2 and was upgraded to an AMD3500. Needless to say he was enjoying the new system.

I spend a far bit of time with B.’s brother and his friends at a cottage on Round Lake. We played a lot of Texas Hold ‘Em for lunch money. I actually won one Tournament. It is a fun game when you play with 6 or 7 people. We also had a short disastrous Axis & Allies session. I got caught unaware of an invasion into Britain and yes… the Nazi menace occupied her Majesty’s glorious kingdom for one round. Fun though. Most of B.’s brother’s friends are pretty big gamers so there was a lot to talk about.

Going to flake out now… was a long weekend.
