Uno

4 Oct

Last night, after dinner, Kris and I played Uno with the girls. Rebeccah wasn’t feeling well, so she didn’t join in. Uno is a great game for adults to play with kids. Anyone can win, because there is a significant randomness factor to the game. As a result, the adults can play to win without fear of hurting the kids. It had been a great many years since the last time I played, and I kept getting confused on the rules. Once I did finally get them straight in my head, though, I went on to win the hand we played. We only played one hand, and yet had over 45 minutes of fun. I highly recommend this game to any grandparents looking to have fun with the grandkids.

The Origin of Love

If you haven’t seen “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” yet, drop everything and get it now. Don’t wait until it’s convenient. B and her kids introduced me to the film. It was an incredibly powerful film, but it’s not for young kids.

Isn’t it “Ironic”?

1 Oct

Yes, it’s a little hard to believe, but that series of songs led me to “Ironic” by Alanis Morissette. Yep, I needed to go there tonight.

… And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything’s gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face …
