Days of Wonder has set up a nice support site for their board games, including a new favorite of mine, Memoir '44. It's got some nice tools that let you write game-specific session reports, and it applies the numbers you enter to simple statistical analysis views of the game's standard scenarios; pretty nice. (Unfortunately, you apparently need a site login to actually read other players' reports.) This is the first time I personally have seen added-value (cough) Internet support for a non-digital board game.
I dunno if I'll go to Maine tomorrow. I have managed to catch cold, so can play that card to postpone things; I'd rather avoid being stuck in that house with most of my northern friends unavailable (with their own families even farther north), and the entire sad town closed for the holiday. Also my mom called to freak out over predicted high winds that will surely tip over my car if I try to drive through them (despite car being a low-profile Corolla; but Ricky's continual ravings about my wheel well dent (mumble) and my attaining pure-maniac speeds up to 75MPH on I-95 (cough) have got the three of them convinced that I'm driving a live powder keg just waiting for the slightest provocation to explode spectacularly) so I could choose to "agree" with her. But if not tomorrow, then later next week. Or something.
