Proof Canada Rules

That's Snakes & Lattes, a café in Toronto that doesn't have free wi-fi.  In fact, it doesn't even want you to bring in your laptop or your smart phone.  But in a world in which we're all digitally tethered, why on Earth would they go that route?  Two words:  Board games.

I stumbled upon this article by The Torontoist and it's a genius idea.  In fact, they have over 1,500 board games to pick from!  And we're not just talking about Monopoly here folks, we're talking Axis and Allies, Carcasonne and everything in between!  I've recently developed an interest in board and card games of different varieties and I wouldn't be able to contain my excitement if such a place came to the South Valley.  So for now, I'll just dream of that day.

Thanks Bus Crew!

Well, we all survived and it was quite a hoot!  I had the pleasure of hanging out with a fantastic group of listeners while at the Packers game last night.  We couldn't have asked for a better game.  I mean, when the Packers obliterate the Colts 59 to 24, it's always a good night.  We also couldn't have had any better weather or more incredible company.

Thanks again to all of you that came to the game and I hope to see you all back when we go to the regular season game this year.  If you didn't get a chance to go, I definitely encourage you to make it to the game this fall!

I'm Hungry...

You Have Died of Dysentery

Some of the best days while I was attending Jefferson Elementary School in Oshkosh growing up, were when we got to go in the computer lab and play some Oregon Trail.  There was so much fun to be had and yet most of the time my friends and I would fail.  Whether it's drowning while forging the river or contracting dysentery, it seemed that getting to Oregon was near impossible.  This video really takes on the key issues and fun that I remember from my childhood and gives it a remarkably well done trailer for a fake movie.

Will He Cry Again?

So what's the over-under of Favre changing his mind again?  In case you've been living under a rock, Brett Favre has told Minnesota Vikings officials that he will not be returning as their quarterback for the 2010 season.  We've seen this before, and with it being the third time I'm now convinced that Brett simply wanted the NFL record for number of times returning from retirement.

Looking at his track record, you can never count him out of coming back yet again, and until week 17 wraps up, I won't be surprised if he does.  However, if it holds up, then my prediction of my predictions is correct, in that one is already wrong.  I think that makes sense...
