Carcassonne Game Review
I agree so much with this review of the German board game that I would like to share it with you. I purchased this game in July and have played it many times since. I have to say that it's my favorite board game at this time.

See the review at the Boulder Games website.

Thursday Update
Well, it seems like I'm doing good to get one of these out a week. I will try to at least do that.

In the news:

  • The invitations have been sent.
  • We have purchased some of the ceremony items such as the candles and flower girl's crown material.
  • We have decided on an alternative to a wedding cake. You'll have to show up to find out what that is.
  • We have written and sent our first Thank You note for a wedding present.


In addition to this, my good friend Shane McLaughlin will be visiting this weekend. We plan to play some croquet, some board games, and go to Comedy Sportz.

That's all for now. Don't forget to tell us how you're doing.

Hasta,
Bert

Where history cannot tell the whole story, legends arise to fill in the gaps.
There is an interesting story on the About Urban Legends Page regarding the tradition of the Seventh Inning Stretch.
