We have a game called Carcassonne. It's a tile laying game, and it's very fun. We recently got an expansion for the game the includes a Dragon who eats your little people that you play the game with. It is not fun to have your people eaten. I've noticed the the Dragon does not bring out the best in people. If you are the one who's being eaten, it is customary to get all upset and whiny. If you are the one doing to eating, then it seems customary to overly enjoy it. It is a very emotional part of the game, more so than I would have expected. It's fun to watch, and interesting to be a part of when those "game-playing tensions" flare up between the eater and the eaten.
We went to a wedding yesterday. Actually, I played music for the ceremony. And, the guy doing the ceremony can't legally sign the certificate, so I finally got to exercise my marrying authority! Cool. It was a nice wedding, but weddings are almost always nice. Our son spent the day with another family while we were out at the wedding and reception, and he did great. He hardly even noticed we were not there, or at least it didn't bother him. They grow up so fast... sigh...

*ahem* I hate to admit that I was an upset/whiney "eatee." I thought about that after we left too...guess you got to see "us" a little more! We do look forward to playing that expansion again...perhaps more prepared on how to react ;)
Funny, I just realized that we played carcassone sp? the second night home after having Josiah in Missouri with our friends. I liked it though not till the end as it took me a long time to really understand what to do. (i think I was distracted by little Jo... But I think I could get addicted to it like I was to settlers.
