Friday night my brother brought his gf home from school for a family dinner. My dad only completely embarrassed us twice, which is about average at these types of occasions. When we returned home, Marc showed off the yo-yo he made during IAP and the tricks he has since learned.
Saturday, I practiced my backwards crossovers and watched the snow start to fall. Sunday I played in the snow and went over to Nick and Sean's for some evening activities. We watched "Kung Fu Hustle," which was directed and writen by the same guy that did "Shaloin Soccer" (a fantastic flick). "Hustle" proved to be a funny movie in its own right, with some interesting social commentary to boot.
We followed the movie up with a couple games of 3-person Settlers Of Catan. I was demolished in game 1 (perhaps I was a bit rusty), but squeaked out a victory in game 2. (And for the first time I won with longest road instead of largest army--KC would be proud.)
In the political news today, itp proved prescient as the DNC state chairs endorsed Howard Dean (even though their exec board recommended Fowler). Let's now hope that people *do* listen to Mark Brewer, as he is encouraging all the state chairs to vote as one.
