Useta-could.

Anyone want to race?

I might have to try that. Is this the first online game for Wii?

Smash Bros. also has online play.

If anyone wants to hook up with me, my Wii number is in my profile.

Have you Catan fans played Carcassone or Caylus?

I've played Carcassonne a decent amount. I like it, but I prefer Cities & Knights. I think Caylus was the game that the guy in the Paris game store was trying to sell me. A medieval French city, something like that? In theory I should love it!

I just got Ticket to Ride Europe for Christmas and enjoyed that quite a bit. I think I still might prefer Acquire or Bohanza to all of them, but those are both different sorts of games.

We really need to sort through the game cabinet at some point. It's such a huge mess that I don't even know what's in there, and we have some great games.

Warning! Like Raq, I sometimes forget about Facebook for a bit, but at this point I have enough Scrabulous games going, I *will* check in eventually.

S'okay. I can be patient. When I have to.

I am happy to facilitate this!

Last time I proposed visiting SF (before moving here), my friend's response was "Good idea, our CDs could really use re-organizing."

Ha! Oh I'm sure we can find closets and closets that need organizing!
