i'm sorry the bus tickets went up, flame.

Thanks.

So far, it's just the one boardgame; we played it again yesterday, and aside from a couple of kinks in the rules, we're about ready to lend it to some actual cabdrivers that we know and see what they think. (We're also debating whether to pitch the idea to a big company like Parker Bros., or to just take out a small-business loan and make more copies of the game ourselves...)

good luck, GR.


what a busy weekend! it's so nice when the kids are home, but it's also a lot of work!

Today's my last day of summer. So, I don't know how often that I can come, if at all.

Just thought I'd give everyone a heads up in case they'll miss me.

i can only speak for myself, but i will miss you a lot.

i hope you can still come by sometimes.


i'm trying to catch up after the big 'holiday' weekend. trust me, it's only a holiday for people who aren't the Mom.

it was great seeing the kids though. the next time they come home will be in less than 2 weeks, for the TMBG show. i can hardly wait!

aww thank you.
i'll try my best to come, but who knows what the school year will bring. i'm also determined to join my accordion ensemble again...if they don't drive me crazy.


good luck catching up.
yay TMBG...brining people together since 1982.

yeah, you gotta love the Johns for that.

good luck with school, & the accordion ensemble!

Hope to see you around lado, good luck with school stuff.


Okay, so I'm eating dinner, right? I set my fork down on the plate and it starts to slip off, so I go to catch it...

WRONG MOVE!!!

Long story short, I stabbed myself in the hand with a fork. Gah, damn the luck!


Also, my new TV is freakin' sweet.

you klutz.

i'm always afraid i'm gonna poke my good eye out when i eat with a knife.

HOORAY for the new TV!!! how big is it?

32", LCD, Hi-Def... all that good stuff. I shouldn't need another TV for a long time, this thing is the perfect size for my room too. Buying this finally broke my 19" TV curse... no matter where I went before, I always had a crappy 19" TV.

It might not be the best TV out there, but it's the best TV I've ever seen/owned, so I'm more than happy with it.

Sharp LC32D62U

it's gorgeous, Fire.

you got me beat in the TV department. alls i got is a crappy old 25 incher. we've had it for years & years.

you deserve it.


does it make your room hot? my brother has one of those giant TVs, & his room is always hot. maybe LCDs stay cool... my computer has an LCD screen, & it doesn't put out any heat at all...
