Roll of the dice

This was posted over 10 years ago; my opinions, thoughts, attitude, and writing style may have evolved since then, and this post might have been different if it were to be posted today.

The other night my indecision over what to get for dinner was fixed by remembering I had my Foodie Dice with me; a roll of the dice and I had myself some ingredients for a meal. I realized later that I might be able to solve my issue of trying to find ways of getting myself out and about more by using dice to give me a basic headstart. Roll one die to select a DC quadrant (I’d have to have a D4), or perhaps a regular six-sided die to select a DC quadrant + Maryland + Virginia. Maybe another die for basic ideas of things to do. As you might guess I haven’t fully thought of what criteria to choose from. I might try to design some dice to be 3D-printed at the library; it’d be much easier to roll a die and look at what the die itself says to do rather than trying to remember what a particular number equates to.

Today I went out to my gym to enjoy the rooftop pool. It was a nice afternoon for lounging poolside, reading my book for the library’s Twentythirtysomething book club, and since I had to do some grocery shopping as well I was able to stop by the Harris Teeter next door afterwards. I took a Car2Go home, but that was kind of a bad idea; the route I’m used to taking home from that area had an exit completely closed due to construction, so I sat in traffic for much longer than I would have liked.

My original plan for the evening was to just stay in and watch baseball and maybe a movie and cook dinner and relax. Instead, Mom and Anne are coming out this way and we’re heading out to dinner.
