Good morning everyone.

It rained a bit early this morning but not the heavy showers we were expecting so I'll be watering, but first I need to mow the lawn one last time. After all the care it's received this year it's nice and green and there's no moss, finally.

My coffee machine seems to have given up the ghost, or at least needs to be repaired. It's done yeoman service over the years, so I can't complain, but I was hoping it would last longer. Fortunately I have several other ways to make coffee just in case. My pour-over coffee this morning was quite delicious.

Hey Ho OrleansBelle, manXman and OldBroad ... most excellent finish

Thanks Orion ... great links and information

Yes indeed Gerry ... cake and ice cream are a must for birthday celebrations.

Thank you so much everyone

I just finished Crowns and Pawns: Kingdom of Deceit. It was just okay. I had a hard time with the clicking as it seemed I had to click multiple times before the game would respond. I did not like the hockey game nor the Italian scooters puzzles at all and I didn't love any of the puzzles really. The ending made me sort of feel like "that's it"?. Anyway, one more crossed off my *to be played* list.

Since everybody is enjoying Tormentum 2, I guess it must be time for me to play the first game which I have had for 11 years now . I don't think I realized it was a point and click game. I hope to start it tomorrow.

You and me both, Mad!

Maybe I should just say, me too - me too! I did start later than a lot of you but once I got going, I went fast!

I saw one player comparing it to the Nancy Drew games. Maybe she was thinking of The Shattered Medallion in particular - I don't know.

And you are right about the voices.

I'm still reading the Honor Harrington series and I think I'm enjoying it more this time around. It's been 30 years since I originally started reading it when the books first came out. Good military science fiction. Plus tree cats.

yes indeed LadyK

Hi Cos Russo,

Really looking forward to Sept 1st. I enjoyed Alida

Rumor has it you are going to get Alida up and running on today's PC's. When might we expect that to release?

Thanks Marian.
