As many of you know...this spring I had 14" maple trees growing out of my gutters because I was afraid of heights and wouldn't get up on the ladder...

Game widows grieve ‘lost’ spouses

What a great article.

As more and more time is spent playing online games...it's more and more time away from the spouse...

My poor wife can vouch for that!

My favorite is Lord of the Rings Online...or LOTRO to you noobs...

Our Lives, Controlled From Some Guy’s Couch

What a great article!

It is definitely an interesting theory and well worth the read...

Today there are some very popular games where people use simulated characters to do real life things. For example, Lord of the Rings online, World of Warcraft (8million players!!!), the Sims...

People spend real money to buy "fake" money and necessities in these games...

Is it a stretch???

Dinosaur discussions

well, I have had one of the best conversations ever today...sitting on the deck...having a cup of coffee (at my new table by the way) and discussing dinosaurs with my son Christopher...

We discussed the following
-The longest dinosaur ever...Seismosaurus
-The tallest...Ultrasaurus
-The smallest...and no...it isn't the compsognathus like one website I found said...Christopher clued me in on the FACT that it's the microceratops which was less than 2 feet tall which is half the size as the compsognathus. How a 4 year old that can't read remembers this stuff is AMAZING to me.
-His favorite is "All of them" and
-He wants to be a paleontologist when he grows up as well!

Great stuff...What a way to start the day!
