We played "The Game of Life" with Yagu, today. It really should be called "The Game of Boomer Life", because it's incredible how the game "floats all boats" -- e.g. everyone "retires".

Yagu drew a card you can draw where everyone has to try to make the card-drawer laugh. The Girl turned to the Internet to make Yagu laugh. She found:

What's The Best Part Of Living In Switzerland? I don't know, but the flag is a big plus!

Yagu didn't laugh. But I laughed.

rand()m quote

For a long time I was very bitter that the people who controlled the means of anybody ever hearing my songs were never gonna play them. They only favored music that I specifically and particularly hated, and I wanted them dead. Suddenly, there was another avenue. I started hearing my stuff coming out of bars and then it started to happen little by little — a movie song here or a TV ad there.
