Tom Simpson and the Raiders of the Lost Blog

Just some pictures of running around the house.

First off, wow!  I love this game.  I haven’t been this engaged on a handheld game since Advance Wars and Warioware.  The game is a collection of riddles and puzzles, wrapped around solving a larger mystery.  A lot of these are thousand year old logic problems, like the classic on moving 6 creatures (3 hostile, 3 friendly) across a river without one side eating the other, or using a scale only twice, how can you determine which of 8 weights is the lightest.  It’s fun, and nice to dig the cobwebs out of the parts of my brain that don’t deal with child raising or information architecture.  Definitely check this game out if you have a DS and like puzzles, I really recommend it.  You can buy it at Amazon.

Maddie likes to play with her friends Declan and Katie from down the block.  Lots of pictures!

Been a bit since I posted.  New pictures up from Marie’s birthday, my birthday and Mother’s Day.  Chris and I went to the Seven Stars Inn for a nice birthday/mother’s day meal, and finally saw Iron Man (LOVED IT!)
