A Penny, And A Feather, For Your Thoughts

     Hey, everyone. It was a neat day, here at the green retreat. Carley (my wife) found the smallest feather, as you can see. I thought I'd tell you what I did today so you would see how boring life will be for you when you get old.
     We were both off today, which is a good start on any day. I got up and spent an hour drinking coffee and looking at the news and gaming reviews on the Padster. Then we ate bacon, scrambled eggs, toast and jelly. Then I played a bunch of songs on keyboard and sang along with several of them. Carley and I did some typing on the newest western I've written called Notch 4. It should go live this week sometime on the ebook stores.
    We walked in the woods. It was about 42 degrees F and misting rain. I told Carley that when we got home I would sing her the old song by Jay and The Americans called Walking In The Rain. They do it a lot better than I do but they probably don't love her like I do. That's got to count for something, right?
     After that I went on the app store and downloaded a few games that I had found earlier as I checked out the new games. I bought the hottest game of the week called Modern Combat 3, Fallen Nation. It cost $6.99 which is on the upper rung of app store prices but I bet it will be cool. It takes a very large 1.05 gigs of space! I haven't played it yet. Hopefully I will have a review out this weekend. Actually, I have been playing Modern Combat 2, Black Pegasus all week. It is great fun and I highly recommend it. Also, try a game called Arkano Arena and Lost Butterflies, which is a tranquil, Zen type of game with a  match 3 style.
     This afternoon, Carley and I drank some cold beer and ate a rather odd meal consisting of cold fried chicken, potato salad, saltine crackers and boiled eggs with mustard. It was a delicious change of pace, believe it or not. Then I lit a fire in the fireplace and we sat in front of it and chatted while we listened to music.
    We had a big bottle of pre-mix Hurricane drink. We had one each of those on ice and filled up the hot tub. I jumped in and right back out because the water was scorching. I had suds from the bubble bath all over me and Carley laughed her butt off and threatened to take my picture and put it on the blog. Thankfully, she did not.
    Right now, as I type this, Carley is sitting in the living room, playing her new games, watching the fire and listening to the I-Pod over the speaker system. She is singing along with Paul McCartney as he does Let It Be. She sings very well when she thinks no one can hear her and she sings out. As days go, this is really good for me, probably would be boring for all of you. To each his own, but I like it here at the green retreat, on a rainy Friday in October. I hope you have a great night.  May you be safe and happy, whether you're in New York, California or Moscow. Peace and grace to you. Good night.

Shadowgun: Crushing The Driller On Level 4

      Hey, everyone. Let's talk about the game called Shadowgun, the I-Pad game with which I have a love-hate relationship. Most of you who made it past the evil Cyber Lobster are doubtless locked in a death struggle with the Driller at the end of level 4. At this point you have been in the cave for a long time. The Driller breaks through the rock wall and chases you through the tunnel as you try to shoot out the green lights which slows the Driller down. If you are slick enough to shoot out all the lights and emerge from the cave, a rolling door crashes on the Driller and crushes his aggravating carcass. I have tried and failed to beat the Driller at least 250 times. I hate the Driller to the heights and depths my soul can reach. I hate it like a plague. I hate it with intensity of feeling. I hate it like a rich man hates taxes. Excuse me, I got carried away.       We had a big dinner here at the green retreat and my friend Trevor was ...

Faerie In a Glass Jar

    Hey, everyone. Sometimes gaming can be high-pressure. Take tonight, for instance. I was playing the excellent puzzle game titled 4 Elements #2. I have already done a review of it so I won't attempt to do so again. You have to match symbols and use 'power-ups' to get molten lava to flow around a board and bring life back to a faerie world. Cool. That's what I do. I'm into it. There are also a variety of mini-puzzles such as hidden objects and even putting together a jigsaw puzzle. Hey, when I get in trouble I call Carley.     Anyway, tonight, Carley wasn't around when a crisis struck. I was confronted with a faerie in a glass jar. She was crying for help. She said that she was running out of air. Every minute or two she would rattle the jar. In order to free her, I had to find all these objects and use them. Like there were some missing books. Then there was the pieces of a torch. When I found them I could light all the candles. I found the pieces of ...

You're Aiming the Missile Where?

    Hey, everyone, out there in game-land. The number 1 game on the friendly neighborhood app store is Call of Duty: Strike Team . No wonder, because it is a terrific game. The farther I play, the cooler it gets. But before I get to that, what are all these numbers indicating on my gun? Has to be some sort of ammo indicator for the clips, I guess. either that or some of my compadres has trouble doing his math homework. Whatever.     Hey. Check out the picture of me hitching a ride on an enemy truck so that my team can infiltrate a missile silo. Do you like the face mask? I bought it at a store called Fashions by Bane. Ha, ha. (Batman Reference) On this mission, my team was assisted by a Russian Spetsnaz squad. How's that for detente, comrade? These Spetsnaz guys make everything fun. What I mean is this. We shoot bunches of enemies and get into the bowels of the silo. We get to the gantry where the missile is (Pictured above) and we see that the rad...
