My mom returned today (with my nephews) and as I waited for them to get off of the plane I went to the lighthouse model to envision a battle, and then I saw the sign that read: "Fire Island." This whole time I just assumed that the model was of the lighthouse at Montauk Point, never Fire Island. My imaginative, miniature battles have been flawed with fantasy!!!
Also, I saw the final two episodes of Happy Town on ABC.com this morning and I have to say that they were really good. I guess you need to get the supernatural stuff out there quick before people stop watching. It was good and the creators should do some sort of wrap-up with the series.
Finally, a big KUDOS to Peter Outerbridge for his portrayal of "Handsome" Dan Farmer. He played a deranged yet witty cop very well. Be sure to check out his other work from Millennium (another show that deserves a well-to-do wrap up).
A blog where I will try my best to extract a chuckle from you. During our tremendous downtime I may also dabble in deep, nerdy discussions that range from The Battle of the Nile to the Battle of Hoth!

WAR! What is it good for? GAMING!

My nephews are visiting! But not yet. My mom has to go take a flight to Florida to pick them up (because I'm a huge sissy when it comes to planes) then she'll return Tuesday with them.
In just a little bit I'll be taking her to MacArthur airport, and probably escort her inside where they have an amazing model of the lighthouse at Montauk Point. Now, I know this is lame but everytime I see that model I always wish I could bring my Axis & Allies minis (from the board game) and storm the beaches of Montauk!
What's weird is war is a terrible thing, but it's so fun, exciting and awesome when played out with miniatures and detailed terrain.
