Checking In

Saturday, December 29th, 2007

I k now that it has been an unusually quiet few days ’round here, but don’t think I’ve forgotten about the place. Been here and there over the past few days with Christmas dinners and such to attend. Overall, an enjoyable few days of turkey, family and gift exchanges.

I had some fun with this the other day, so I thought I’d pass it along for all to enjoy: The Traveler IQ Challenge! It’s a cool little game that asks you to point out countries, capital cities, famous places or even stops on the Amazing Race and then scores you on them! Sometimes you’ll [...]

Expensive Taste!
