games.

True to form, as soon as I make a statement I always end up regretting it.  Last night I received my subscription copy of PC Gamer.  They are coming out with Battlefield 1943.  I have Battlefield 1942, Battlefield Vietnam, and Battlefield 2.  I'm a fan of the series but you've probably guessed that by now.  I'm sure I will buy this one also.

Tonight I'm off for Missouri.  I have to change the oil in my mower which will take most of the night and probably involve disassembling the big thing under the hood to get it done.  I'm not real mechanically inclined (I'm guessing I'm missing a gene or something).  Then Saturday is mowing day.  yippee.

So Bob and Shar bought a boat.  You know how women start wanting babies when they see a baby?  How come they don't want toys when they see a toy?  Probably maturity.  Luckily I'm not held back by that.  I am happy for them though.  I know it will be a lot of fun.

Actually, Miranda has kinda gotten past the point of wanting babies.  Good thing too because the doctor took me out of the picture.  Here's a tip for all the guys out there.  Instead of getting the big "V" done, just have your spouse kick you as hard as she can about 20 times in the sweets.  Saves you some money and feels about the same for you.  

I've been spending my spare time at GameTableOnline.  I play my favorite game there.  It's called Guillotine.  It's a pretty simple and funny card game involving nobles in the French Revolution and you try to collect the higher point cards by adjusting the line to the guillotine.  To "collect" a card, the noble at the front of the queue gets the guillotine.  It sounds worse than it is.  I had wrote a computer program to play against myself so I've got some playing time under my belt and understand the rules.  I'm starting over because I needed to restructure the program to add in some Artificial Intelligence so that I can play against the computer.  Miranda isn't a game player.  She does like to play Bang! a bit.  I can't get her to play Napoleon in Europe though (too long at 6 hours and too many rules).  

well I'd better get off of here.
