Bits and Bites

I'm pretty sure that my new health insurance company uses the same online drug place as the old one!  There's a chance my stuff will just slide right on over to my new account but even if it doesn't it will be a lot easier to break in than a net new one.  Nice.

I discovered last night that some fool emptied the last of the coffee into the counter cannister without so much noting on the Costco list that we needed more, much less getting more.  Jake? Betty?  Someone needs a time out for this.  No excuse.  So... I had to make a Costco run this morning.  Coffee and trash bags only.  It was a quickie.

Pancakes?  How did I get to be nearly 58 years old before I ever heard that Fat Tuesday somehow dictates pancakes?  I still don't get it.  We didn't do Fat Tuesday in North Carolina in the 50's.  We were way too non-episcopalian protestant.  We saved it all for Easter.

My brother posted a bunch of pictures from his bit re-wedding family get together 'do' of last weekend.  It's funny to see his now very large family and not really recognized one of them.  I've only met 4 of the 15 that were in the group pictures.  I last saw my brother about 6 years ago, and I haven't seen his wife or two children for 8 years.  The reality is that I do not know my brother's family which is weird but very ok.  It was nice of him to upload the photos so quickly complete with who's who.

I stopped on the way home from Costco and drove through Burger King. It's probably been 25 years since I last ate at Burger King.  I think I'm ok now for another 25.

That's about it for the round up so far and I need to get back to work.  I'll add this one additional photo from my brother's upload.  It's cracking me up.

GameFly and more DS stuff

The two GameFly games arrived today.  Interesting. 

I got a 4 game thing Monopoly Boggle Yahtzee Battleship.  Turns out the thing is pretty impossible to buy - what is with this DS shit?  You can barely buy the console and now you can't buy the games? 

I can rent them from GameFly but not buy them from anywhere.  WTF is up with that?  Have I stumbled onto some kind of modern shell game??

It's a good thing that I wasn't thrilled with the game.

I also got Bust-a-Move DS - this is more like it.  It's not great but it's amusing and uses the two screens well.  I found a used version of it on Amazon for $15.

Both go back to Gamfly tomorrow.  We'll test the turn around time.  Next up is Zoo Keeper and Ultimate Card Games. 

Meanwhile it's back to Sudoku.
