It's like Fisher-Price stuff, for people!

Target has these crazy, fat plastic carts now, that just seem like oversized toddler toys--and baskets to match!

Spiffy, huh? The employees who have to go wrangle them back inside hate them, by the way.

Symmetry

It's the way things have to be.

These symmetry games are obviously played for combined points if points mean anything to you--they don't to me, I play word games for the letters, not the numbers.

I thought of playing a symmetrical game after we had already begun, so it was doomed from the start. But a good warm-up. I had this grand plan to swoop in and spoil the board with DIVA at the end, but then I used mt D for another move and so sadly it had to be VICAR. Not nearly as dramatic.

Our second game went well until the last couple of moves--we had a plan for SOW under QUAVER to match LAS under LENGTH but I forgot and put the H for OH and AH under FARM... and planned to play my M in the same spot opposite, creating OM and OD under WHOA... but the S was in place and so I spoiled the game. :(

Our third symmetry game went quite well, don't you think?

Sonic is borrring.

Apparently, because he was loud and animated a minute before he started playing Sonic on youtubes.

It works, right?

Horseshit

I left the first note on one of my monitors and came home this afternoon to find the thoughtful reply left by my sister.

DMNC's idea of fun.

I asked Dominic to give me a thumbs-up while he was playing a video game on his laptop and he couldn't be bothered to actually glance at me while doing it.

Oh shit we got an addict.

Pinecone, pineapple, pinetree?

Dinner.

Yum. Marinated chicken breast, salad (mostly from my dad's garden), yummy sourdough bread, and of course a glass of Pinot Noir.

Later after dinner my father and Dominic were playing tennis IN THE HOUSE, and a good swing ended with my wine all over the tablecloth.

I was in the kitchen at the time and when I heard the telltale sounds of an indoor ballgame gone wrong and called out, "What happened?" my father replied without missing a beat, "You didn't finish your wine."

Right, of course. It was not the fact that they were playing ball in the house, it was my fault for not finishing my wine. Makes perfect sense to me!

Flowers from my garden.

More like flowers from my wild backyard tropical jungle, since all of this just grows on its own with very little help from me. I am not the gardener!

More weather driving pics.

Too bad the iPhone has the world's worst camera in it.
