LOL! This is hilarious, and is chock-full of nostalgia. The Alan Thicke reference takes the cake, bravo.

We've always been gamers. Clue is a fav. You are dead-right about Monopoly. How it starts with laughs and ends up a grim-fisted affair. Haven't played it in YEARS. Settlers of Catan is very similar in how it progresses. I really enjoyed how you tied this altogether. Beautiful work!

I loved the photo captions. Genius! The dialogue was pitch-perfect too. I want the story to continue please. :D

We have French Monopoly chez nous! Un petit peu boring though because the pieces are the same. Just the utilities are slightly different but otherwise instead of Boardwalk and Park Place it's Champs Elysees and Arc du Triomphe.

Concur with what Eric said re Alan Thicke TV theme songs! One time I got to see his son Robin and wife Gloria Loring sing a duet of The Prayer. Pun intended but I was in heaven! Next best thing to actually seeing the Growing Pains dad in person.

Eagerly awaiting your next newsletter and more beautiful nature pics Sheila!
