Lazy Day
6/9/2006
Today was another nasty day. It was windy and rainy and just no fun. We had planned to necropsy two more NAP adults, but it was windy enough that the pilots didn't really feel like flying, so we were all trapped in the cabin all day.
So we pretty much played cards ALL day long. We played pinochle (my favorite), and Patrick taught us to play bridge, which is far to confusing for me. Whoever invented that game had an active imagination.
We also had a newspaper (the Anchorage Daily News), that someone (I think Patrick) brought from town yesterday. So we passed the sections around to read, and we did all of the puzzles. There were two crosswords, including the New York Times crossword, a word find, and Sudoku. The NYT crossword took all 10 of us to finish, but it was fun, and very satisfying when we filled in the last square. Lem taught Bruce how to do Sudokus, and that kept them both busy for a while (see right).
Kimberlee and I made chili for everyone for dinner, and we kinda just hung out until we tottered off to our tents for bed. I was one of the crossword holdouts, I stayed up with Troy and Bruce until it was done, which took until midnight.
