\"\"Tonight I played Agricola<\/a> for the third time. I won this time, instead of coming in second by one point as happened on both of my previous plays. Agricola<\/a> is a board game in which you are the head of a farming household. It is similar to Puerto Rico<\/a> in that it is a role taking game in which one aims to have the most points at the end.<\/p>\n

Erik bought the game maybe a month ago, but we managed to not play it for two weeks after that. Then we played twice at my place in one weekend. Then I was gone on that ski trip, which I will write about later, and well first day back, we played again. It’s a pretty fun game. And we’re still playing a simplified version. This time we played at Eriks place in Beacon Hill.<\/p>\n

A while back I dated a girl <\/a>who lived at the other end of Beacon Hill<\/a>. Whenever I go near there, I naturally think about the possibility of running into her. It’s pretty easy to discount the chances. It’s so densely populated, and so, the thought slips out of my mind rather quickly. Of course, since I’m telling this story one can easily assume I saw her tonight. Not 2 minutes out the door of Erik’s place on my way home I ran into her. This on the uber short 3 minute walk from his place to the T. At first I had a strange cockeyed look, thinking, “is that really her.” The rest went well, “Hi, how’s it going.” “Good.” Both of us continuing on with our one friend each in tow.<\/p>\n

Then I had to wait for the T and fail at resisting the urge to reanalyze. It’s just still of note because it’s the first time this has happened to me. That is, running into an ex unexpectedly. Also, pretty rare event since I’ve only accumulated one ex-girlfriend in Boston.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
