The Ultimate Couch Potato Tool

As the Matt-Rachel-Sam holiday visit continues, I am being totally spoiled and have turned into a couch potato. Not only has Matt fixed my favorite mug, making me very happy, he has now added Screen Sharing to my Macbook so that I can access my desktop computer from anywhere in my apartment using the little guy. This has made me so lazy that I now lay on the couch and use my little computer to manipulate my big computer which is 10 feet away.

Matt and Rachel have bought me a giant bottle of Gin so that I can mix my favorite Gin and Tonic drinks. Now if I can just get the fridge a few feet closer, or teach the big computer to mix the drinks, I would be set for life with endless entertainment. Would you say my siblings are enablers?

Shall We Play a Game?

After visiting the Geffrye Museum we met up with two of Stephen's work associates who were on the first leg of an ambitious adventure - to drink at pubs located on all the streets featured in the London version of Monopoly. It's called the Monopoly Pub Crawl. Yeah, they're nuts.

The cool thing was seeing a variety of pubs, many of which are located near my office! Along the way we actually passed folks dressed as Monopoly characters. Yeah, they're nuts.

Here are photos of Marrion, Bob and Stephen on the Metro tube line looking quite pissed after five gin & tonics in 2.5 hours. Why that drink? Quickest to go down with least impact - at least that's what they tried to make me believe. Yeah, they're nuts.
We experienced pubs 4-9 and then I had to take control of the situation and call it quits for me and Stephen.
