2 5-3s and no 6-3

My recently-acquired swanky set of bones---like these:


---turned out (upon play this past weekend) to have a duplicate of one domino and none of another. Wouldn't matter if these were for standing up and knocking over, but they're not. Hoping to get it ironed out soon. In the meantime I do have other sets, including my fave red bakelites with white pips.

Good time with Legos and Ginger and rockets and keyboard and peteralway last night. Grown-ups who like to play are a blessing, when they come along.

I still don't understand, on some fundamental level, why fun isn't the shared value it was for most of us in childhood. What happens? Fun was an end in itself. Still seems to me that it should be, but I don't think most of my acquaintanceship shares that notion. Or maybe the definition of what's fun narrows, or is infringed upon by Experience, or tyrant Taste?

You know, I have never tried karaoke, but it seems as if it could be really fun. I can't sing well and I don't care that I can't sing well; in karaoke, to a point, warbling oddly might even be virtuous. Do you do this thing often? Is drinking involved? I always picture karaoke crowds drunk, or at least good 'n' tipsy.

I like most of those things, actually. I really like catch. That's one of those fun things it's hard to get grown-ups to do.

Can you play battleship by e-mail?

We oughta do one or three of these things some time. Maybe you can help me get one of the bikes in my garage fixed up to work. Are you good at that kind of thing, by any chance, or know somebody who is?

I can fix bikes.
Kareoke is best when I'm sober and everyone else is drunk.
I never played Battleship by e-mail, but I bet it would be awesome!
You ever heard of battle shits? (See Harold & Kumar go to White Castle for details)
