I have literally been waiting 10 years for this game to arrive! If it doesn’t live up to my expectations I will not consider that a flaw in the game, but a flaw in my myself- I must be too old!

Starcraft 2 is a real-time strategy game set in space. With the previous version I used to play against my buddies at Melbourne IT pretty much every day “after” work. This time I suppose I’ll play people over the internet instead of the LAN.

I have already pre-warned Claire of this game and it’s effects on pretty much all of my spare time for a while. I hope Rhys likes watching me play the game!

Now that we have 3 kids, the leash is necessary. In fact just with two kids Evan is such a handful Claire found it necessary to tether him while shopping. Unfortunately putting Evan on a leash had some unintended consequences. Evan  likes to pretend he’s a dog when he’s got the thing on. He gets on all fours, then pants and barks. Last time at CVS Claire was standing in line and some of our neighbors approached while Evan was leashed. They asked if everything was ok, and Claire said “Oh yeah, I’m just taking the dog for a walk!”

Please join me in welcoming the latest Valentine to the family:

This happens to be our 9th second wedding anniversary as well as St. Patty’s day.
Since Claire is pregnant we’re not doing much this year.
To observe the day I wore a green tie to work, and made Shepard’s Pie for dinner.
