Anna's Back and We're Both in the Hat

Anna-Maria arrived back in Western Canada on Friday afternoon. We spent the day shopping at Chinook Centre and decided to go back to Lethbridge rather than spend the night in Calgary. We saw Finding Nemo here in the Hat yesterday and I still give it two fins up. Although with fish movies two fins up does imply belly-up which is bad, I mean it in the two fins up - it's really good even the second time, way.

Burnination at Kelsey's

Anna's brother Josh works at Kelsey's. Last night he phoned home to let his parents know that he was "very badly burned" and would like someone to bring him some ointment and second skin to put on the burn. Well he had us pretty worried. Lana and I went to check it out and bring him the first aid. He explained that while he was pouring some hot greese from one container to another and rubbed his arm up against the pot but it turned out that while it probably hurt quite a bit, his arm seemed to be ok just a little red, no broken skin though, not even a blister.

Jeff Milner Video Game Review: Pirates + Xbox = Fun

A long, long, time ago Gary purchased a game for our Laser Computer (Apple II Compatible) called Pirates. It never did work on that computer. Well yesterday Anna's sisters got a game for their Xbox called Pirates of the Caribbean (Official Site) and boy is it ever cool. I mean for a single player game, boy is it ever cool. In a lot of ways it takes me back to the way gaming used to be played. It reminds me of Dragon Warrior in that you go around talking to people and completing different tasks. It also reminds me of Taipan (another classic from our Apple II gaming days). I wonder if it's possible to expoit the loan shark high interest trick in that game? In conclusion, I must admit that while I've only played it for a little bit and I don't really know all about the game, from what I did see I liked it.
