Not too much of interest to report today – it was mostly a melange of usual activities. I did a 5k run in the morning, which was cooler and easier than yesterday, thank goodness. Made a sourdough loaf for use for lunch sandwiches tomorrow. I did a new Darths & Droids comic strip. Three ethics classes in the evening.
The most interesting thing was that I played another game of Root with my wife this afternoon. This time instead of using the robotic Marquisate (cats) to provide a third faction, we went with the robotic Eyrie (birds), and I played the cats. I raced to a quick lead as the cats are wont to do, but flagged late in the game and my wife’s Woodland Alliance caught up and passed me to within 3 points of victory. But I managed to scrape together 4 points on my next turn and beat the Alliance by one single turn. The robotic Eyrie was a big chaotic and didn’t do very much, so again I think the default difficulty level is a bit too easy (like the robotic Marquisate). Next time we’ll add some of the options to make it a tougher opponent.
