This Tuesday past was our 8th anniversary. I took both Monday and Tuesday off, in part because I was essentially gone all weekend for an aikido seminar at our dojo.

True to our tastes, we celebrated the occasion with video games and food. We picked up a couple PS2 games (Champions of Norrath and Todd MacFarlane’s Monster Hunters [more or less]), played Champions most of the day and then went to Ruth’s Chris. There’s hardly a classier, more decadent place to dine in this city. Hand picked prime steaks, great wine, killer desserts, large, delicious sides. Oh, and the service, which is utterly top notch.

I paid the price a bit the next day – too much rich food for my guts, but it was worth it.

Champions of Norrath is a pretty cool game. Similar to the Baldur’s Gate games mostly, somewhat different progression system. We haven’t cracked open the 2nd game yet, so that says something about how much we’re enjoying Champions.

So, all-in-all a pretty spiffy anniversary!
