On Saturday Maryanne and I invited some friends over, Jenni and Jeff, and Eric and Tina. The six of us entered the world of geekdom and started a Dungeons & Dragons campaign. Laying all the small talk aside and taking care of last minute details relatively early, we were able to play for about eight hours straight, with maybe an hour total of breaks in between.
When all was said and done and our guests had left, Maryanne looked at me and said, "If I tell you something, do you promise not to be...." It sounded like she was reluctant to say something. She finished the sentence: "...surprised?"
"Sure," I replied.
"I had a lot of fun tonight."
I was glad she had fun, and finally had a good experience with D&D, even though she was a little ashamed to admit it. As she keeps saying, I'll turn her into a geek yet.
