Snow, long weekend, preliminary plans involving

[dmaze]

I've been thinking:

(1) There's actual snow on the ground. Also, it's been cold such that magic snow-producing technology probably works. Also, there's this train. Any interest in trying the commuter-rail-to-Wachussett plan sometime this weekend, for marginal skiing within my fading capabilities?

(2) It's a three-day weekend, even for me. Any interest in taking one of those days for a board game of some sort? (1856, Advanced Civilization, other 8+-hour things; Die Macher, other weighty 4+-hour things?)

Hmm, whereas I could do Sat more easily; Sunday we have plans at 4PM which would be bang in mid-game. But would love 18xx if it weren't 56 (OK, I admit it, I'm not that enthused about the CP). Die Macher Andrea would probably play too if it weren't Sunday afternoon (when I think she's doing things to sets).

Arr, conflicting requirements! I do have two contiguous units of 1825 ("the kinder, gentler 18xx") which should get played together at some point. The short blurb on Pericles also sounded kinda interesting.
