Endgame. Sue won handily.

Long-overdue visit to NBC Seafood for dim sum; they may not be the best dim sum in the area, but they are an old standby for a reason. The experience is legit, complete with carts, the food is mostly average to good to very good, and consequently they are packed for a reason. Parking gets busy, but if you're early enough and willing to walk, there's usually plenty of street parking as well as a covered semi-underground area that are well worth the extra walk in the summer sun.

Christina and Stanley then graciously hosted us for board games; Ophelia busted out one of the extended goals boards for Terraforming Mars, which I think lead to a 5 or 5.5 hour game?? Was quite fun but also a long time to sit; at least Ender tolerated his visiting aunties and uncles well, even as Sue clawed her way to her customary overwhelming victory.
