Greetings and welcome to today's random thought.
We have owned the game of Boggle for quite some time now. If I had to guess it would be going on 2 years, maybe longer. Up until this week, we had yet to play it even once. Oh, the kids got it out of the box and the instructions are missing along with the 3 minute sand timer but the shaker and the 16 dice are still there. We used the stopwatch feature on the cell phone and played it last night and this afternoon. The 6 year old daughter has slightly modified rules in that she can use any letter anywhere without having to have them connected. Also, since she just finished kindergarten, she gats credit for any alternate spelling that makes sense to her. Also, it really does not even have to be a word (e.g. blont, kimb) in order for it to count. The rest of us follow the normal Boggle rules and it is really fun. The wife has beat me by the narrowest of margins every time so far and so tonight over dinner as we were discussing playing again I informed her that she had better throw a few games if she knew what was good for her (and my ego). We will see.
It has been a pretty normal / boring week really so I am going to jump right into...
Random Bad Quality Pictures With My New Cell Phone
While shopping at Sprout's today I came across this sign. 20 years ago this sign would have made no sense at all. I mean, what different kinds of water could there possibly be? Nowadays though it is not the case and hence the above sign makes perfect sense.
While the wife was shopping at Fashion Bug, the kids and I walked down to some other stores in the same strip mall. We stopped at Petco, Game Stop and also Staples where I snapped this picture. This presents one of life's paradoxes. What happens if you use a stapler remover inside of Staples? Ok, maybe it is a stretch but I was really bored and I made it a point to go down the staple aisle just to take this picture. Like I said, it has been a boring week.
Thanks for reading my Random Thoughts.
