All the letters are addressed to you, it's not real, any of it. Can't you see? You're living in a construct. I bet if you keep walking in a random direction you'll eventually end up back at your own house. |

Mrs W and I taught our granddaughter to play Uno on Friday night. When I got home from work last night Mrs W, my son and our granddaughter were two hours into another round. I think she's caught that bug immediately and is already learning to play tactically. |

Darwin is three now, and just likes games like Ooeration, Buckeroo, Hungry Hippos, POP Up Pirate, but even at the level of teaching turn taking, cooperative vs competitive play, games like that are great. It’ll be fab when we can have family game nights! |

Watched the two Great Britain ice hockey games over the weekend. I tuned in to both knowing that Britain's chances of winning were only slightly better than me winning the world's strongest man but the game against Germany was pretty tense. It was very impressive that they only started conceding goals in the final minute of the second period. Epic saving from the netminder throughout. The equalising goal was even sweeter, for those brief moments before Germany took the lead again. The game against Canada was about as one-sided as you could imagine. Will try to catch the rest of the series, but some of the games aren't as conveniently scheduled for me. |
