Good Morning




Today I finally have a day off. Thank God for that. It's just too bad I have to go to work tomorrow.

So, I found some another wife that is actually pretty cool. We went over to her and her husband's house last night and had a nice dinner and played cards and it was all sorts of fun.

First we played "The Great Dalmudi" which is very similar to Asshole but with cooler cards.

Then we played this game called "Once Upon A Time." That game was pretty entertaining. Everyone around the table gets 5 different cards that either have a character or event or place or aspect or item. And there are hundreds of cards so there is all sorts of crap. Then you get a story card, which is the last line of your story. Mine was "So the village was restored and prosperous once again." (or something like that).

So somebody starts off telling a story using only one of their cards per sentence. . . then other people can take control of their story if they have an interrupt card or the story teller says a word (or similar word) to one of their cards.

And the goal is to veer the story to your ending. . . but everyone had different endings and it gets all crazy like.

So, it was me and Jon and 3 other couples. . . turned out to be a really great night and we're going to do the same on Thursday. When my mom and brother and sis are here.

I can't figure out what to do for dinner. Maybe enchiladas?

	Sounds interesting. My girlfriend and I have been playing Sequence since we played a homemade version at the friends of the family that we visited. It's two decks of cards and chips and you cover the cards laid out on a gameboard trying to make two sets of 5 in a row. My mom kicked both our asses in Trivial Pursuit yesterday.

	was it the original trivial pursuit? i'm pretty good at the 20th anniversary addition. . . at least compared to everyone else i play with. i've heard of sequence, but don't think i ever played it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We own the 20th Ann. and have played it so much we get repeat questions all the time. This was the original while we were visiting my mom, yeah. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
