Heavenly bodies! Erect your rocket and blast off.

return of the MacIntosh.

-"Welcome back, me!"
~"Welcome back, you!"
Tilde.
It has been the most lovely summer. There has been little rain, but we are not farmers, so that has little affected us. Consider it a break from the floods of the spring-time. 
Do you remember the game "M.U.L.E."? Is there a board-game version? It was a video game from the Commodore 64 era. It was about colonizing a small patch of an alien planet. This was done with the aid of a Multi-Utility-Land-Exfoliator, or something. The acronym escapes me at the moment. A robot ass, yes. You could play the role of various alien people, or an Earthling. You bid upon land, then developed it with help from your M.U.L.E.. Your plots could then produce grain, minerals, what-nots and a large portion of the game was devoted to selling the resources you produced on the market with the other players. Economics made fun! "Edutainment" in its infancy.
We have an infant. He is a curly-haired ginger-boy. You can't catch him; run, run, fast as you can. 
One last note: I am searching for a few good people to be in a band: the Houyhnhnms. Punkolka. Space-pop. A surfacing flounder or a floundering surfacer and a pentagram (the five-faced fox from outer-space). Does any of this make any sense? Tell me what you think it means! Send me a message, at your leisure. We are off for now to the park with the wee one and breakfast biscuits. Sigh-ho! Sky-high!
