Chrissy and I flew back from Rhode Island today. For some reason, we booked a return flight at 10:30 AM, so we had to wake up extra early so that would could check out, return the rental car, make it through security and find some breakfast before boarding. We made it in plenty of time, but this meant leaving before the Hasbro...

When I got home from work yesterday, she already had a list of all the items that we would have to take with us to Rhode Island. We’ve been on enough...

Chrissy and I are going to Botcon 2007 in Rhode Island this month. The big thing at Botcon this year will be a tour of the Hasbro Headquarters near Providence. The first 400 people who registered for Botcon automatically got in for the tour, but there were only 500 available seats, so they had a raffle to determine the final 100...
