I spent yesterday in San Diego. ryannmarin's husband was hosting some boardgaming while she was up here at a crafting convention. He's on Facebook but not here (and she seems to have abandoned LJ as well). But as with all trips to San Diego, it started with buying my car back from my favorite Honda dealership down there.

The score really makes the game sound like it was more interesting than it was.

RecapIt was mostly a pretty mild game. Dallas dominated early and led 3-0 until my cousin arrived late in the second period. Anaheim came out flat. Dallas played sloppy. Anaheim rallied. Dallas didn't adjust. Anaheim scored late in the second period and twice ( Read more... )
