Games

5 Mar

Jack is watching Merlin and painting a model kit as I write. He’ll be 9 soon; it’s hard to believe sometimes. He’s excited because Lego Star Wars III (The Clone Wars) comes out later this month. Myself, I am still playing a lot of DC Universe Online. I had been hotly anticipating the new Final Fantasy MMO, but now I’m not so sure. I expect I will still pick it up, but will I play two MMOs at once? Hard to imagine.

We have been playing a lot of card games around here too; conventional deck games and specialized ones like Phase 10 and Scrabble Slam. I picked up a copy of Mille Bornes yesterday and we had fun learning to play it.

Hot Chocolate Season

3 Mar

Every winter for the last decade or more, a switch goes off in my mind and I start each day with hot chocolate; usually a paste of milk (or cream) and Nestle mix, with hot water added. Thanks to the Starbucks uptown, I have also been buying a lot of salted caramel hot chocolate when I can afford it. I eschew marshmallows, as a rule.

And just as suddenly as it started, the switch will flip back sometime in the spring, and I will start my days with orange juice instead.
