Fall, Y'all

    Hey, everyone. As Sunday night becomes Monday I reflect back on the weekend. It has been okay. I watched a little football, played a few games on the Padster and hung around with my wife. We watched some movies. I like old westerns and tonight I watched part of an old Randolf Scott offering called The Nevadan. I was surprised because it wasn't that good. Usually I really enjoy all of Mr. Scott's films. It was in color, which is odd for his flicks. I gave up on it about the half-way point.
     Carley has played a bunch of a game called Word Jewels 2. She played 101 levels of this game. Can you believe it? It has a board with letters arranged in a honeycomb. the red colored letters can be strung into words, disposing of the letters. You only have a certain number of moves until you lose. She enjoys it so much that she only mumbles occasionally, which means it's a 5 star game. It is either free or 99 cents, I forget.
    What did I play tonight? I went back and drug out a golden oldie called Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter. It is still one of the top five games on I-Pad, in my humble opinion. Tracking the most dangerous game through swamps and savannahs, hoping they don't catch your scent is pretty cool. You can even hunt at night. I have already done a review of the game, back in the day, and have played it all the way through. I even killed the massive T-Rex by shooting him in the eye. The velociraptors are bad to the bone, also.
    I played some more of The Dark Knight Rises tonight. That's the Batman game. Tonight I was planting explosives on Bane's vehicles and beating the crud out of his men. It was rainy and cold in Gotham again tonight. Surprise! (Not) With Bruce Wayne's money, I'd be in Jamaica tonight. Whatever.
      I also played the excellent freemium game called Blood and Glory: Legends. I really wish that they had just charged $5 for a complete game. But noooooooooooo. It is huge fun, though, and I think you'd like it.
     Friday, I bought Stupid Zombies 2. This is a lot of fun for 99 cents. You have to ricochet bullets off walls in such a way as to kill undead type persons. It is totally worth a dollar.
    Doubtless you think I must live a boring life, if you follow the blog very much. Well, yeah...
     Winter is lurking, I guess. The leaves are just passing their peak color, I think. We cruised in the mountains a bit yesterday and took about 50 photos. Carley wanted to try out her new I-Phone 4S for the panoramic shots. It was bizarre what happened. It cut some cars in half and just showed parts of them. I'll see if it will publish at the end of the blog.
     Hope you guys and girls have a nice week.
I'm CE Wills.

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...

Cake Is Better Than Swords

Hey, everyone. On Thanksgiving, we had a get-together here at The Author's Green Retreat. One lady brought a cake which I wanted to show you. It had the look of a Roman Coliseum about it. Inside it was just as decadent...and fun, as ancient Rome. When I cut it open, homemade marshmallow cream began to ooze out in several spots, running over the chocolate cake and peanut butter icing. It is best served warm so the cream is fluid. Very tasty. The same lady, and her children, are people who have played a lot of Skyrim. They gave me some pointers on the game because I am having problems with it. They taught me how to fast travel, and a ton of other things, but the main thing was the armor and clothing problem. This is a little embarrassing, but let me explain. Okay. For several weeks when I played, I would enter towns and everyone I met would comment on my nakedness. I would select a tunic and shoes, whatever, go back around people and they would say something about it. I guess I w...
