Whatnot

During a recent visit, my Mom and my grandmother (driving all the way from southern Illinois) brought a trunk full of my childhood with them.  The kids are loving the action figures and cars.  For my part, I hooked up the old tray-loading NES and got pummeled in a couple of games of Tecmo NBA Basketball (circa 1992 – BJ Armstrong at point guard for the bulls…)  I then proceeded to show that I still “have it” by nearly beating Super Mario Brothers 3 in a little over an hour.  I got tired though so I had to throw in the towel.

And then there’s dr. Mario…what a great game.

The real gem was discovering a $20 NES game purchased at wal-mart (The wrapper and price tag were in the box).  The game is “Solitaire” – like just basic solitaire.  I found out that it is selling for $90+ on ebay.  So…I’ll be selling that gem J

I’m going to read the gospel of John today.  I’ll let you know how it turns out.
