Speaking of umbrellas, when I lived at the Peachtree St instantiation of the fort, I had a giant golf umbrella with the word "Head" written on it. Did anyone happen to end up with it? I probably left it on marta.

For some reason we were talking about Arnold in Japanese class at some point. Apparently he's done a few comercials over there. They call him "Shwachi-chan" according to the Japanese teacher.

Apparently the holy season of Saint Patricks Day is a season of miracles, or coincidences or ironies or something like that. Way back at Christmas time, Martin and I decided to give each other A&A Europe and Pacific. Martin bought Europe, and I never bought Pacific. Flash forward to my birthday: Rich was trying to find Shogan (or Samurai Swords) for me, but found that both incarnations of that game have been discontinued. So he bought A&A Pacific. So now we have Pacific and Europe, and since Pacific is a max 3 player game, maybe I can con Martin into playing it more often than the other 2.
