You know, all the condiment, Scrabble, pickle, and "Off with your head" talk has put this thread in serious danger of falling to the second page.
I used to play board wargames. They never translated them well into computer games. Well, they did but the games have been passed by.
I tried an earlier version. I stuck with Civ through its various incarnations...
I need a jump start.
Just to share here --
I'm going crab hunting tomorrow!
I suppose others might say, "I'm going crabbing," but that, to me, implies using a trap or bait line. I'll actually be SCUBA diving, chasing after the little buggers. (Well, big buggers, as they have to be a certain size and all.) It is more of an actual hunt, as I have to find and grab them up.
Shortly after the dive - ymm, crab boil!
And Devildeac, I picked up a couple growlers of beer from the local Mac & Jack's brewery, to add to the feast. Can't wait.
Oh, and also to share -- thanks, MBB team, for winning a game on my b-day yesterday. I didn't get to watch, as I was still at work, but it was nice to know the game was going on and our guys pulled it out.
My b-day treat to myself was hiring housekeepers to come in and clean the place up. It's so nice to go into this weekend not worrying that i have to spend the next two days cleaning for my parents' arrival next week! Ahh, shiny clean bathrooms and floors -- loverly.
Oh, and lastly, Mr. DA rocks for, amongst other nice touches yesterday, getting me microwaveable socks as a b-day present! My feet are always cold, so he went out and found "Spa Socks," to help keep my tootsies toasty!
My plan for tomorrow evening, after being full on crab, is to curl up on the couch with my hot socks, with some Mac & Jack's beer, and watch the tivo'd Duke vs. Mich game. Bliss!
