Inspiration struck me a little over two weeks ago. My wife and I were playing Carcassonne, one of our favorites, on our Xbox 360. It was a promotional free download a while back. We'd never heard of i...

Howdy folks. I think this is the first time that I've blogged twice in a month.* But these are important times! I'm just at that point where I need feedback, dang it. I'm calling the Yahoo group idea ...
