Webgame Wednesday: Lin-Sanity

There's something to be said for timeliness. By summer, will we be gabbing 24/7 about basketball phenom Jeremy Lin? Probably not. But for now, he's the "It" celebrity. So it's no surprise to find him starring in his very own webgame, Lin-Sanity. It's pretty basic here. Shoot the ball through the hoop. It's not hard. You're Jeremy Lin. You can't miss. The key, as I said earlier, is timeliness. There's only 60 seconds on the clock. You can extend that time by grabbing the appropriate power ups. Jack up your score with multipliers. But don't get the bad powerups. Those are, well, bad. How many balls can you sink?

"I Saw You" at the funeral Sunday

Reply or see more “I Saw You” ads at alibi.com/personals Customer at Walmart I met you at 9:00pm. Didn't get your name, but was mesmerized by your beauty. You had blonde and blue hair with the cutest dimples, plus lots of piercings. You saw me many times throughout the store, and outside. You drove off saying, "Good night." I was touched. Come back in … same time, same place. I think we could hit it off! I've never met anyone who made me stumble on my words like you did! Guardian Angel at Smiths on 4th and Guadalupe Trail!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! You paid for my groceries when you saw I was in need. You touched my heart and really made a difference for my family. Thank you. I will never forget that. Your random act of kindness will be paid forward. With all our love, Mother with Twins

Rowdy’s Dream Blog #237: I bring my unruly friends to the grocery store.

I bring my unruly friends to the grocery store where my Sister-in-law, D, works. They try to perpetrate a scam of buying a large milk for the small milk sale price. Discovered, they try to make it look like I was the instigator. D is nice and trusting but her job is now in danger. One of my friends is now dancing on the shelves, knocking off the merchandise. I try to disown the whole situation.
