Hi! :) I’m running a little behind here.   Work’s been crazy busy, and this morning I started work on my taxes. Ugh. How do you pay taxes there? Here there are complex tax codes and you file once a year.   I use a software tax program.   It helps but you still have to collect lots of information, check the inputs etc. I’m sure it will get better once the government installs those 24 hr monitoring chips in everyone.

Potter’s had a run of bad luck here. Just got another 32 hr Titan fail, what the hell is that about? Dragons just keeps chugging along with Common fails. Congrats on Valentine, a nice catch just before it expires.

Oh sorry, I didn’t think you saw me outside your window, haha, :P   I like the foxes, though I don’t see them that often. A few years ago I got really lucky and ran across a den with cubs, which was pretty cool. There are lots of deer here, too many now that the natural predators have been wiped out. It’s a problem cause people hit them with cars, and the deer starve in the winter cause there are too many. They were kept in check by hunting, but not that many people hunt any more. It is legal, but not in parks or near residential neighborhoods. I like to fish, but have never hunted. I still remember shooting a bird with a bee-bee gun when I was about 13. It was sitting on a branch a long way away and I figured I couldn’t possibly hit it. But I knocked it right off and felt really bad afterwards. Of course I eat meat, so apparently I’m only selectively sympathetic … as long as I don’t have to personally bloody my hands I can look the other way.

Wow, they left you a whip as a moving-in pressie?! I never got anything that cool! I got a bottle of wine from the people I bought my house from, but of course the funny part is that it turned out to be an old bottle that had gone bad. It was totally undrinkable. I guess you never know what’s behind the veil (and I now have a whole new understanding of veiled threats, haha). Maybe I made a mistake with my college dating, ‘cause I never considered those type of girls …. I haven’t found your video yet, do you wear the leather in that? :)

I can’t believe you got Cleopatra already, I’m only at 1600 and 1700. I should finish OK, though. Do you still collect coins after 1800 or is it capped? It’s going to be very close on the Sphinx goal. I don’t see how we are going to make it, but TL can probably tweak it somehow. Seems like they’d piss people off if Sphinx is a no-show. Can you finish with gold to get it, perhaps?

I’ve made apple pie a few times, but I don’t bake that much. The crust is important, and some apples are much better than others for pies. The better ones stay firmer instead of collapsing into mush. And even a “bad” home-made pie is pretty good, especially with vanilla ice cream and a nice dessert wine….

Are you doing the flash tourney? Since you already have Equinox it’s not so great for you. If it’s any consolation, I was upset with TL as well - I told them I wanted Magnetic for the tourney boss, but nooooo, haha. Maybe next time, they said. I just got past Immortal, which looks like the hardest round.

Good luck with breeding and sleep tight. :)  xoxox
