Game Review: Doodle Hangman

    Hey, everyone. I have to tell you about a really cool little game for I-Pad, I-Phone, I-Etc. The name is Doodle Hangman by Ensenasoft. Much like the traditional thing from your school days but you have this cute little animated guy who gets really stressed when you keep making mistakes. As his body parts appear he at first is nonchalant, like he has complete confidence in your ability. (foolish) Then he starts to sweat. Tears flow and eventually he calls you a loser before the trap door opens. There's a free version which is great. I just bought the paid version for 99 cents. I'd have felt bad if I hadn't. People who put out a cool product should be rewarded.
    May I make a suggestion for those of you who are hoping for an I-Pad for Christmas? It's better to go ahead and spring for the 32 gig. The 16 gig is enough for a lot of people and that's what I have. Lately, though, I've been trying so many games that I'm nearing the limits for storage. I've started dumping a game I don't like every time I download a new game. To be fair, I have eight pages of icons. Since there's one icon for every app, you can see that I have been taking full advantage of the free games and apps on the app store.(There are 20 icons per page, so I have around 160 games/apps on my device)
    One day before long I'm going to post a plan for how to stock your new I-Pad for very little money. Hey, the darn thing is expensive enough without spending a fortune on apps. Let me say that I still love my I-Pad, however.

The White Chicken Mystery

    The other night I happened to come home very late. It was the middle of the night and I was driving up a steep mountain road. Near the top I saw something white in my headlights. It was standing in the other lane, standing very still. It was a large white chicken. It was probably a rooster because I thought I could see his comb as I whizzed by at my customary pace. He never moved a muscle. This is weird, don't you think?      After a couple of days to consider this phenomenon, I have come up with some plausible answers for his bizarre behavior. 1. He was conflicted whether or not he should cross the road. 2. He was feeling cocky and decided to play chicken with the traffic. 3.He was being hen-pecked at home and had decided to end it all. 4. Someone had egged him on to do it. 5. He had just watched the movie Fantastic Four and decided to try to stop a truck the way that Ben Grimm did on the bridge. 6. He had driven himself crazy wondering if ...

Egg Art

     Hey, everyone. One of the odd customs in America is the Easter Egg Hunt. Here at the Green Retreat, we do a hunt every Spring. I just ran across some of the pictures from this years hunt and it is obvious that an artist had sneaked into our midst. The orange egg is a rendering of one of the Angry Birds of gaming lore. If I were a bird and had to pass an egg that size, I would be angry too. Ha, ha.      We typically will dye about 10 dozen eggs and people get quite creative with their quotes and colors, as you can see. Many of the eggs are a bit risque for these pages. After having a few laughs, we hide the eggs. All of them are never found, which is cool. It is amusing to see old men (me) and all ages of folks, walking around with a basket on their arm. Some of the hiding spots are dastardly. Like eggs hidden in the guttering downspouts and ten foot up a tree. The kids are perhaps the most devious at hiding the colorful orbs, goi...

The Biscuit

    Hey, everyone. What a relief that Christmas is over, huh? I don't think it was meant to be the way it is.     I started thinking about the so-called good 'ole days today. My wife says that at her house, they would take a left-over biscuit and shine their shoes before church. I one-upped her by saying, "Oh, yeah? I ate the biscuit when everyone got finished with it. And I was grateful for it." Truly, though, you can and people did, shine their shoes with a biscuit. Hey, they were greasy little buggers.     Speaking of greasy little buggers, I remember when everyone had wells and were very conservative about water, particularly those of us who had to crank a handle up and down to get a bucket of water. There was no daily bath. (No showers in those days, mate.) About twice a week we took a bath and here's the recipe: The oldest kid took a bath first, then the next oldest etc. You can see why younger siblings hated the older. Bathing in the...
