1990 was the end of my freshman year and of course the beginning of my second year.

We lost to UNLV in the NCAA Finals by the largest margin in a title game. We still hold that distinction.

I had to go to Student Health after punching my friend's couch and injuring my hand during that game. In 1991 we wanted to avoid that bad juju and watched at a different friend's apartment. :9f:

It was the wooden frame to the couch that I punched, numerous times. Not the soft part. :9f:

The standing desk is awesome. It's also pretty shocking for people who walk by. :9f:

In 1991, we picked a different place to watch the UNLV game. After that worked so well, we tried the same thing again (same menu, same clothing, same seating arrangement) for the championship game. :9f:

I continue to be baffled by how it is cheaper to buy a new printer rather than refill all the toner.

My wife is the queen of Clue!
A couple weeks ago, we were playing Clue at Nags Head for a family game night. We decided to use the beach side of the board since we were... at the beach. We'd never used it before, so we were trying to figure out the extra cards. My wife, my dad, our kids Katie and Michael, and I were playing. So, my wife roles highest and gets to go first. She roles an 11 and goes to the beach location. She says, "Hmmm, I'll go with myself, Miss Scarlet, with the wrench, at the beach." Nobody has it, so she accuses and is correct, thus sending herself away for murder and winning in one turn. HOW INSANE IS THAT?!!!
Has anyone else ever witnessed a one turn game of Clue? Or any board game?

Now when something crazy happens, I just say, "Miss Scarlet, rope, beach" and everyone cracks up.

Anybody know the probability of something like that?

I do not.

Not much help, am I?

I DID come close in a game of Star Wars trivia once. I got all the pie wedges but missed while trying to get back to center on an exact roll.

We are moving at a snail's pace to 40k. I guess we are middle aged PWs these days.

A snail can move 25 meters in 24 hours...we need to pick it up just to get to snail...

In other news, a snail expends 30% of its energy creating slime.

I miss the beach. As compensation, Niece Elizabeth finally put up a new post on her blog.

Unfortunately, fun times with family at the beach ended on Sunday.
