• I worked four, 10-hour days so that I was off Friday.  We went to
  King's Dominion in VA, even though the weather was supposed to be 80%
  chance of t-storms.  Luckily, it didn't even rain once! 

  Driving 75-80 MPH, even with a few traffic jams, I made it there in about an hour.  Not bad!
  I'll post some more pics later and a  description of the best
  rides (I haven't been there since my first year of college). 
  However, there was this game there that Joanne and I were awfully close
  to winning, and although there were multiple prizes, we wanted the iPod
  shuffle.

  here's a pic of the game:
  
  Basically, you have to stack the blocks, kind of like Tetris, but more
  like Jenga, in a way.  You start w/3 blocks on the bottom, and you
  have to stack the next set exactly on top, or if you don't a few fall
  off and that's the end.  However, the number of blocks reduces to
  two, then one.  Once there is one block, the next row that
  consists of one block must be _exactly_ on top of that.  Anyway,
  we got to the top row, but got too nervous and lost.

  #$%@#% you, Stacker game!  We want our iPod shuffle!!!!!
