Well, I couldn’t get the game for the Mac. When I found out there’s a GameCube version, that made me happier, since playing these kinds of games on the computer can be murder on the hands!

I discussed the game in a previous entry, hence calling this part II. The only other thing I can say about this game is: simply a lot of pure fun. If you liked Legos when you were a kid and, at the very least, like Star Wars and have any of today’s gaming systems, you owe it to yourself to get a copy of this!

I may add on to this later… I’m tired. Stay tuned!

(Addendum: I was tired because, little did I know, I had gotten the beginning stages of a very nasty cold virus. See the next blog entry.)

Christine just let me know that her uncle, Doug Rieman, has a birthday today. Happy Birthday Doug!!

Well, I wanted to post this at 12:01 am instead of nine and a half hours later, but oh well! I’ll write another entry on how I spent the first hour of the new year. We spent the last few minutes sitting in bed watching the ball in NY’s Times Square drop. Yes, it may not be one’s idea of a party, but to me it really is just another night. We did our own celebration earlier by doing what we’ve done for the last five New Year’s Eves… go to Red Lobster for dinner. We consider it our tradition, and I’m happy to do this for my honey, since I seldom take us there throughout the year (expensive!!!). Yes, I did have a bottle of Guinness!

The year 2005, as I see it, was rife with natural disasters of historic proportions (Katrina, anyone?), shifting views in our government (Bush going from hero to zero), a rollercoaster economy and a battle to bring our troops home from the Middle East where we have overstayed our lukewarm welcome. Let’s pray that 2006 will be a better one, not just for America, but for all nations and peoples.

To our families and friends: Christine and I wish everyone a great New Year’s Day. Cheers!
