A good friend is visiting from out of town, so I spent the afternoon teaching him to play "Mythic Wars". He seemed to really enjoy it, and since it's his birthday in a couple of days, I gave him a copy to take back with him.

Got to see an old friend tonight, though, and that always makes it better. 😊
