Good game, particularly getting the ball up in the tree. Extra points.

It took us several hours to realize that Corey didn't actually know how to play Duck, Duck, Goose.

(I think that was his name anyway...apologies if it wasn't).

Ha! I just now noticed that at some point during the game C.M. got ahold of my Senator Jacket with my Hand-Made-By-Dax SFØ badge. You look sharp in it my friend.
