This is Alpha, the first-born, when he was 2YO.
This is Beta, the second-born, when he was about 2YO.
This is Gamma, the third-born, when he was about 18MO.

Now it is time for another PSALM.
Gamma made this one, like last time. This one was titled “Surprising Fishing” by him.
Now only 140 more to go.
In arrogance the wicked hotly pursue the needy;
Let them be caught in the plots which they have devised.

This is a guide for how to play the game Fluxx.
1. How do I win?
By being the first person to meet the goal.
2. How do I meet the goal?
By playing Keeper cards that match what’s shown on the Goal card.
3. How do I play a Keeper card?
Each turn, you draw a card and play a card. Well, that’s not exactly true – that’s how the game starts, but it changes.
4. How does it change?
You can play different types of cards. There are Goal cards (you can change the goal) and Keeper cards (that are for attaining the goal) and there are also Rule cards, that change the rules of the game like how many cards you draw and how many you play.
5. Wait, how can I win the game if someone can change the goal? How does that even make sense?
That’s what makes Fluxx different – some people think it’s more fun, and some people think it’s less fun. Yes, the goal changes, the rules change, someone can just take the cards in your hand, etc. That’s why it’s called Fluxx.
It’s not a difficult game to learn, but it can be difficult to play because you have to always re-learn the rules (when they change). Also, there are a variety of versions. We have the original Fluxx (which is fun) and Chemistry Fluxx (which is even more fun). They have even more versions, which we haven’t tried, but might be worth it depending on your interests.
There, now go play Fluxx.

So this one didn’t turn out as well as I was hoping , but I’ll show it to you anyway. I thought it would be fun to combine Drew Carey and Drew Barrymore and see what the result would be – of course named Drew Caremore.
First up – starting with Drew Carey and adding some Drew Barrymore, mainly her hair and lips.
Not the best combination, but just wait.
We now start with Drew Barrymore and add in some Drew Carey.
But why just his glasses?
Here, I’ll show you her picture with his lips, and you’ll see why it just doesn’t work.
And there’s no point putting his hair on her – by the time you put Drew Carey’s glasses, mouth, and hair on anyone you just have another Drew Carey.
And the child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter and he became her son. And she named him Moses, and said, “Because I drew him out of the water.

This is a guide for how to play the game Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza.
1. How do I win?
By running out of cards first.
2. How do I get get rid of my cards?
Everyone gets rid of cards. The key is not to win any of them back.
3. Ok, then how do I win cards back?
By messing up your actions.
4. What are my actions?
Ahem, this is the Five Hows, no Whats are allowed.
4. Ok then, how are my actions?
That’s not a very good question, but I’ll answer what I think you meant. You make your actions based on the card being played versus the word being said.
Each person, in turn, flips the top card off his deck and into the middle pile. And when you do so, you say the next word in the sequence “taco cat goat cheese pizza”.
If the picture on the card matches the word you just said, everyone needs to put their hands on the middle pile. The last person to put his hand in is the loser (kind of like musical chairs), and gets all the cards in the pile.
5. But you said actions plural. How are there other actions?
There are a few cards other than taco, cat, goat, cheese, and pizza. There are some other animals, and you must make the prescribed (in the rules) motions to match that animal. If you don’t, then you also get all the cards in the middle.
It’s a simple concept but very stressful. And fun. And just as much fun to watch as to play.
There, now go play Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza.
and He will put the sheep on His right, but the goats on the left.

This is a guide for how to play the game Guillotine. I normally like to link to the official game website, but in this case I could not find a publisher that admits to owning the game, so the best I could do is the rules.
1. How do I win?
By having the most points at the end of 3 rounds.
2. How do I get points?
By collecting Noble cards with point values.
3. How do I collect Noble cards?
Each turn, you collect a Noble at the front of the line of Noble cards.
4. How do I work a strategy into that, if all I’m doing is getting a card in turn?
You have Action cards that let you rearrange the order of the Noble cards, or get extra points based on which types of Noble cards you have.
5. How do I get Action cards?
Each turn, after you take your Noble card, you just automatically draw an Action card from the deck. Plus you start with a few Action cards, but no Nobles.
It is a simple game, really. A smidgen of strategy, but more luck of the cards, so you can just play the game. But it is still fun.
Now when they had come into the house, as he was lying on his bed in his bedroom, they struck him and killed him, and they beheaded him. And they took his head and traveled by way of the Arabah all night.

With the new James Bond movie taking up some room in the news recently, I got to thinking about various titles.
I came up with a few, these here:
But then I thought about “what if I made a simple webpage that would auto-generate the titles?”. And I checked the internet and, sure enough, someone had already done that.
So to save myself time, I’m just going to direct you over to that site where you can auto generate some random titles for James Bond movies.
It’s a fun way to waste 3 minutes.
So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
