Jim, you haven't entered the photo contest!!! you actually have a huge advantage because you live in Maine (you actually live in the same area as my grandparents, cousins, etc.., good old PoGo).

The Sober Husband was playing that one day, and I burst out laughing when suddenly his computer chirped, "Spain Loves The Dictator!" (He was doing so well that his populace spontaneously declared "We Love The Dictator Day").the Drunken Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14606104534453493304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324039.post-72700617950494162392007-04-01T16:35:00.000-07:002007-04-01T16:35:00.000-07:00The same thing happened to me with "Caesar."

I don't think they make it anymore (improvements, etc), but the basic idea was that you'd construct a Roman outpost, complete with trade, temples, housing, theaters, games venues, granaries, even barracks and defenses. If you reached a certain level of peace and prosperity, they'd bump you in rank and give you a bigger challenge (larger city, more restless natives, more arid landscape, whatever). The goal was to get to Rome, I guess, though I never got that far.<BR/><BR/>When I was in school I borrowed it from a buddy and took it home for Thanksgiving break. I started playing at 5pm and I didn't stop until 11:30am the following day, when I had to take a nap. I might've taken one or two breaks for the inevitable natural processes. But no food. No water. Just 18.5 hours of territorial governance. I didn't even notice the time passing.JKGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13569861165454532541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25324039.post-73731176508452518082007-04-01T15:09:00.000-07:002007-04-01T15:09:00.000-07:00Given that I work out in my study, where the rowin...Given that I work out in my study, where the rowing machine lives, which is private (the blinds are closed to spare the neighbors' delicate sensibilities), yes, I sometimes work out in my underwear.
