Sounds like you all did your best to overcome and press on.<BR/><BR/>If you haven't tried it, The Trivial Pursuit Pop Culture DVD game is wonderful. A cool mix of trivial pursuit and Scene-It that covers such a wide range of pop culture that virtually anyone can play without feeling stupid. Even my 13 year old knows alot of the answers (that's probably not a good thing though...too much exposure to pop culture???) :)Carl V.

Had a nice Black Friday, shopping 'til we dropped, and THEN ate tukey, and dressing, and mashed potatoes, as we ought to have yesterday. So win-win, I say. <BR/><BR/>Plus, I cleaned up at UNO. Of course, I came in third place at Candy Land.

I take a lot away from this blog, whether it be from the talented Ms. Snellings-Clark herself, or from her many intellegent and well-spoken, thoughtful commentators. So thanks to you all.Derek Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01555485192723965604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9604161.post-1132845939356790182005-11-24T07:25:00.000-08:002005-11-24T07:25:00.000-08:00Yeah, I know exactly what you mean.

I don't have kids, but I visited London Zoo with a friend and her six-year-old this summer - we were looking at the emus, when I noticed her son and another kid had, totally without conversation, started up a game of chasing each other around a tree, pretending to be different animals. The other boy's parents eventually called him over to go, in some Eastern European language.

I don't mean to sound pathetic... but I was the one who always ended up talking to their parents.<BR/><BR/>Oh well.

I plan on adding his classic New Sun series to my reading pile in the coming year.<BR/><BR/>I love it how kids can often instantly bond with one another. Wish it was that easy as an adult. I think that is one of the interesting things about going to places like comic or sci fi conventions as I see people acting in almost the same way as kids in their ability to quickly and easily start interacting with each other over their shared interests.<BR/><BR/>Lisa, Ravyn...have a wonderful, Happy Thanksgiving!Carl V.
