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.

You think everything’s gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face …

World of Warcraft
26 SepAt Rebeccah’s suggestion (or is that strong urging?), I have been playing around with a free 10 day trial of World of Warcraft, or WoW as it is commonly known in the gaming community.
I’m about 5 days into my trial, and I have to admit, it’s a bit addictive. Continue reading
