Our annual game of Advanced Civilization started at about 12:30 pm and ended about 6:30, with Babylon winning, and Crete (me) a very close second place. Good fun, but with pizza this year instead of the usual turkey.

Kelley napped for almost all of it and shortly after she woke Scott and Emma arrived. Kelley and Emma had the best time running around squealing and playing and eating pizza. We'll have to get them together more often.

We arrived home to find many, many deer tracks around the house. They've been all over digging out grass, apples, and even cabbage stems from our garden to eat. Apparently it takes them little time to realize the dogs aren't home to scare them away.

Interesting article de jour: Second Life avatars and Brazilians: the same carbon footprint. World of Warcraft characters probably rank the same.
