Was out running a banking errand and decided to stop by a store, part of a chain, which was closing down. There used to be one close to where I live but that must have been when I was still in elementary school. Over the years, they started closing them down, one by one, especially when Wal-Mart came in. Now that Target is coming, they just couldn't compete. Big box stores are great...When it's raining or snowing, there's lots of aisles to wander about...But it's the smaller guys that have their own indpendent character and contribute to the local neighbourhood identity.
Anyway, with everything priced to go, I indulged by buying some games; Game of Life and Battleship in card form. Hmm, it's been awhile since I played boardgames. Maybe I should host a games night one day. Too many kids and adults these days are glued to their electronic gadgets...Sometimes a good ole-fashion boardgame can be even more rewarding.

After shopping about, decided it was time for a coffee. It's TIm's Rrroolll Up the Win time! Saw a newsclip of this guy who one big...Made me feel like I needed a cup of coffee too and see if I'd win anything. Nope...All I got was 'Please try again'. How discouraging.
So, Day 2 of my no-carbs diet saw me grating cauliflower as a rice substitute. Was not bad actually.
