[Have had a couple outages in the last couple days which were noticed by both sets of parents (and tells me I have at least somewhere between two to four readers!) 😉  Anyhow, I’ve been told it may be a conflict with a plug-in, possibly the search engine plug-in I use which has grown to […]
Watched the Netflix exclusive documentary “Mitt” tonight. It promises to be a behind-the-scenes look at Mitt Romney’s rise to Presidential nominee beginning with his losing effort to secure the Republican nomination in 2008, his successful effort to gain that nomination in 2012, only to ultimately lose to Barack Obama.

Â Basically, this is Pictionary but instead of drawing different things, you try to build them with the various Lego pieces that are included with the game. I have to admit I was a bit surprised by one of the game cards (although Shea and I did have […]
I haven’t had the opportunity to play Cards Against Humanity but have heard enough about it to know that the Library Edition would be especially hilarious, at least for a small subset of people I know! 😉 Here’s a demo of the original game so you can get a sense of how it goes…
