| Anybody else celebrate Daytona Day? Great races in all three series... I do think the final crash involving Kurt Busch in OT bringing out the 5th Caution in the Cup race should get the teams and NASCAR looking at the aerodynamics of the current specs of the Gen-6 Car. Ryan Blaney, who led 118 laps o... |

| Those are excellent selections! Thanks! We have found that we prefer Catan: Settlers of Catan to the original Catan as there is a little too much chance involved in the original game so we have been homebrewing our own rules. We picked up Betrayal at House on the Hill. I am also looking forward to t... |

| I hope she's okay. I don't know if I'd be able to focus on racing after two family members had those types of accidents. I've never watched pro drag racing, but I've read interviews with John Force and he seems like a good guy. Is he okay from the explosion? Yes, both Brittany and John seem fine. B... |

| WRC is an awesome series. I enjoyed the NASCAR Clash today but was surprised at the Ford dominance at the end. Watching the NHRA finals currently - amazing the bad luck the Force team has had. John's Funny Car blew up into a fireball yesterday and Brittany's crash was really bad so she was taken to ... |

| We got our tax return so I helped out the local game store's economy. I picked up Dragonfire DBG (D&D meets deckbuilding game) with Dragonspear Castle and a couple of extra adventure packs, Formula D and two additional track sets (I'm a huge motorsports fan), Catan: Settlers of America (my wife ... |

| Lots of good racing this weekend. I watched the ARCA season opener at Daytona this afternoon and am watching Supercross San Diego right now. Tomorrow I will be watching the finals for the NHRA Winternationals in Pomona and the Clash at Daytona. And then speed week leading up to the Daytona 500 next ... |

| I'm in the unique position of being an Aspie dad with two Aspie kids (young adults) in college who like to spend time with their parents. So we have many game nights. Our current favorites are Catan, Carcassonne, Munchkin Cthulhu (yes, I know these are "oldies".) Since I do not think I am ... |

| I started watching NASCAR about 5 years ago which got me interested in other motorsports. Now I watch NASCAR, NHRA drag racing, IndyCar, Formula 1, IMSA and the occasional Supercross, Rallycross (GRC and WRC), MotoGP, and short track racing (Lucas Oil, World of Outlaws, et al... hurray for MAV TV). ... |

| When I play MtG I usually play against my 11 year old son who is also Aspie. My 13 year old daughter prefers to play the Naruto TCG at the game store. On the computer, I play MtG either with Forge or Magarena - although Magarena usually whips me pretty good, and I play Yu-Gi-Oh primarily using the G... |

| Ah, there is another real gamer out there. Since I no longer have the discretionary income to buy lots of board games or the space (I'm married with kids), I rely quite heavily on the free online versions. In regards to their online versions - Robo Rally (the original board game was invented by the ... |

| Being a little on the older side (mid 40's) and a former active gamer, I tend to like the collectible card games such as Magic the Gathering and Yu-Gi-Oh (I got into these when adult life got in the way of RPG's being an appropriate hobby) as well as the classic board and card games such as Chess, C... |

| The reduction to Q < Quelle is no more useful than the appeal to the inerrancy of [lost] originals. Appearing in more than one gospel does not in fact guarantee authenticity - borrowing and later editing are in no way ruled out. This is why [you should pardon it, but why should I care, I have at th... |

| Jesus didn't always practice what he preached. Alas, he was a charlatan, too. That is only if you make the mistake of ascribing infallibility and inerrancy to a canon of scripture that was selected by a human committee in the course of becoming the official religion of the Roman Empire. I would foc... |

My focus is on following Jesus as Lord which means following the radical grace of his Great Commandment - "Love God and Love one another" rathe... |
