Well, I've been sick then Ellice got sick. I'd like to blame the kiddies at school, but we are all adult enough to realize she probably got it from me. Sorry babe. Not much to tell from besides I had a 100 degree temperature last weekend, and this weekend she cracked triple digits. The snow day and a half we got this week was a godsend, let me tell you. We can't ask for much more than that, for sure.
Other than recovering, I've been watching UK scratch and claw their way to a decent season. The recent string of victories has their name mentioned for possibly making the NCAA tourney. I say they need to just win the SEC tournament to get the automatic bid and be done with the talk. We shall see.
Lotsa homework and a few DVD movies, none to really review. We didn't get out again this week, but if we had, I would have reviewed Spiderwick, Jumpers and Fools Gold. Here are my predictions of what I'd say.
Spiderwick- Fun family fantasy, a little creepy for little kids, about a **1/2.
Jumpers- Predictably Hollywood flare and effects. The cinematography was a little drab for my taste. Reminescent of that lame Covenant movie, but much cooler plot wise. Action was fun, but once you get past the initial hook, then what--yeah, they're teleporters, we get it. **
Fools Gold-Another romantic comedy from Matt M. Not much else to say. Mildly humorous, passable.**
Okay, so my predictions aren't very positive, but I've got a lot on my plate. Perhaps I'll be suitably impressed...

I hope you and Ellice are feeling better on this Monday morning. Maybe you will get to a movie this coming weekend :)
Brad, have you ever played Risk or Stratego? Is one better than the other? Are they totally different from each other? If you were to buy one, which would you recommend buying? How long does it take to play each? If you don't have the answers, that is okay. We have seen both games, but never played them and wondered how fun each would be. Since you and Ellice love games, I figured I would ask the experts before investing ;)
Stratego is a two-player game that takes about 1/2 an hour. Risk is up to 6 players and takes a couple of hours, sometimes longer. They are different. I recommend Risk for a family game, stratego if only two play. Risk eliminates players, so you have some people sitting around while other play- like Monopoly. They have timed options, if you don't like to play that long.
Thank you :)
