Friday: a day in

Today was a lovely stay-at-home day.

First of all, it snowed on and off throughout the day.  (I thought it was going to melt, but now it might not happen right away.)  While we did have a dusting last week, this is the first real snow.

We finished up Joshua's D&D campaign.  It had a few quirks, but overall was really cool.  Isaac, the mage, got a spell called "fire surg".  Instead of reading it as intended, Isaac kept saying "fire surg".  After correcting him several times Joshua finally said that Isaac would lose health if he said it wrong again.  Well, I had a question and used fire surg (it was somewhat appropriate for the question, but also I wasn't thinking), and so I suddenly lost a health point!  It was fair.

We also were attacking some purple gems.  I hit it with one of my golden drumsticks: 1 pt of damage for me.  I hit it again: 2pts of damage for me.  Oh well, I was done at that point.  Then Ben said, "so how does this increase?  Plus one damage each time?  Double?  ...Exponential?"  At which point I had the loudest hiccup and everyone laughed at my surprise.  (It was double by the way.)

I also have a cold.  Probably the one that Joshua had earlier this week.  It's not much fun.
