Family Rated

[For 7/21]

Nameburst is the game that we own that is most highly rated on average by everyone in our family. Pillars of the Earth and El Grande are tied for 2nd place, and Alhambra, Hacienda, and Ra are tied for 3rd.

Handel's Water Music

I don't know where my organ book of Handel's Water Music is. I could use it for a wedding coming up next month. Hmph!

Batman Begins

I enjoyed Batman Begins. My favorite part was the playing of the piano. (It had to be. I'm a musician.)

Playing Games in Summer

[For 7/18]

While we still like to play boardgames in summer, apparently most other people have other things to do. We had our lowest attendance at a game Gathering tonight. I'm not complaining, just noting that our usual crowd must have all been busy reading up on the Brett Favre saga instead.

Drum Sets

[For 7/17]

Drum sets, the electric kind, don't cost as much as I thought. A decent Yamaha brand set can be had for about $700, or so I'm told.

Music Sequencing Software

[For 7/16]

Music sequencing software, like SONAR 7 by Cakewalk, is difficult to setup the first time you use it.

Can't Stop!

Can't Stop! is a classic Sid Sackson press-your-luck game that my wife picked up for cheap at a local thrift store today. We've found that, not only is it hard to stop when it's your turn, but it's also hard to stop playing the game, period.
