    Here for a month: spending time with my son and doing a road trip. Has been excellent.

      Well actually with 9, Monopoly becomes very much a strategy game. Think partnerships that only last for one or two rolls of the dice. :)

      Well, maybe... But not compared to something like Catan, Dominion, Puerto Rico, etc... Though I've been getting some of them hooked on The Resistance, which is kind of like werewolf/mafia :)

        I do but it took a while to convince the wife that we wouldn't be attacked by a slithering mass of rattle snakes, get sting by scorpions or get carried away by the river. :-)

          once again. What're everyone's plans? Here in Canada, it is another long weekend with Monday being Thanksgiving day. I'll be spending another great weekend with family at the cottage where we'll be having our annual Thanksgiving Beach Bonfire on Saturday, another fabulous Thanskgiving BACON Covered Turkey dinner on Sunday and hopefully everyone will be able to wake up on Monday and safely return home. :cool: Wishing everyone a great weekend. :)

                I can think of other ways of bonding with my wife, but that looks like an interesting one to say the least. I must admit that I do like events such as this where time taken to complete is not a consideration. Rather that you have participated and completed the event. Best of luck to both of you.

                    Mom gave me a recipe once which was basically a huge hamburger, with bacon woven on top. When it's cooked, it looked like a giant turtle. The only reason I never made it was what do you do with the couple pounds of cooked hamburger when you're done eating the bacon.

                          It’s not a Canada goose, it’s an US goose visiting for the season. Nice hospitality!

                                        once again. What're everyone's plans? Here in Canada, it is another long weekend with Monday being Thanksgiving day. I'll be spending another great weekend with family at the cottage where we'll be having our annual Thanksgiving Beach Bonfire on Saturday, another fabulous Thanskgiving BACON Covered Turkey dinner on Sunday and hopefully everyone will be able to wake up on Monday and safely return home. :cool: Wishing everyone a great weekend. :)

                                          But think of the trees. You'll be hurting them. ;P

                                          All right, but apart from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health, what have the trees ever done for us?
