Timing Is Everything

I should not start a 4-player game of Agricola at 11:00 P.M. It's too hard to get up for work the next morning. I actually took a short nap after work. I never do that.

BGG Site Down

[For 12/29]

It's a sad thing when the Web site you visit every day is down for several days. I understand there was a hardware failure, and it took a long time to restore everything from the backups. But BoardGameGeek.com is back online (as of this post), so all of us geeks can get our daily fix again.

Packers vs Lions

The Green Bay Packers handed the Detroit Lions an 0-16 record -- the first ever -- today by defeating them 31-21 in a meaningless (except maybe for draft position) game at Lambeau Field today.

Early to Rise

Someone got up relatively early this morning to go 3 hours west to the city on Old Man River -- even after a late night at the "Casino". Eager to see friends, I guess.

Hare & Tortoise

[For 12/26]

Though Hare & Tortoise has rules for 2 players, it really wasn't meant to be played that way. There are some quirks to the game that wouldn't show up if played with 3 or more. I hope I can play it with several others soon.

Cool New Games

Scripts and Scribes, Kingsburg, and Gemlok are three cool new (to me) games that I got to play today. Thank you very much, givers!

Christmas Eve

[For 12/24]

I received many very cool presents from my wife and children tonight...books, clothes, a game, and more. God bless you all.
