The Fall is here, & it is time for Chili

It has been a great week in gaming. MIZZOU football crushed Texas A&M, Nebraska lost !!!, and MIZZOU plays #1 Oklahoma next Saturday on ESPN for home coming.

My wife and I played several more games of Scrabble on our phones via the Droid market. Overall, I am 5 & 3.

Ryan and Hunter had awesome runs at their League Cross Country meet this past Thursday. Congratulations to Ryan for making the 3rd League team, and for Hunter in posting a PR while smoking a runner from Eudora in the final leg of the race. As Mr. Erickson shared with you, "you stole his will." Desoto boys and girls took second place in the league.

Gaming night was a fun time this week. We played Sid Sackson's Buy Word, Z-Man's Magical Athlete, and a World Without End. In addition a fellow gamer brought a crock pot of Chili, and Amy brought a chocolate cake. Magical Athlete was a simple but very fun race game. The game begins with a draft of magical athletes for 5 races. I ended up with a Amazon, Assassin, Pirate, Priest, and Druid. Each athlete has a special ability that creates combinations during their race as other athletes might trigger their ability throughout the race. I lost the game by 1 point as Tara's thief stole a victory point from me at the beginning of the last race. I wish the game had a better production value. It screams to be tricked out.

On a final note, Tammy and I celebrate our 22nd wedding anniversary on Friday the 22nd, and our oldest son turns 18 on Tuesday the 19th. Happy Birthday Ryan, I am so very proud of you. Happy anniversary Tammy. I love you very much.
