(I'm attributing this overshare to (e:robert)'s influence.)
I'm pretty sure I'm the least competitive person in the entire broad gaming circle. I'm mostly interested in making pretty pictures and maybe drinking some beer. However, D is highly competitive and she decided she wanted to place a bet on the outcome of a Qwirkle game. Tsk tsk. I employed several key (e:YesThatCasey) tactics to achieve my goal.
I was brushing my teeth last night and realized there were more toothbrushes and toothpastes than usual. She's had a toothbrush and toothpaste at my house since December... but now needs duplicates? Too cute. We had stopped seeing each other for a bit and I think she might have worried that I threw them out.
Big Flats is a town between Corning and Elmira, NY, about an hour from home. It's home to the Arnot Mall and the Elmira-Corning Regional Airport. I find it highly amusing that Walgreens sells a beer named for it.

Fun with lawyer ethicsCategory: work
I finally have a logo for my law firm! I'll show it off soon. I was checking out the ethics rules about whether I must list an address on my biz cards. The answer seems to be no, but in my research I came across this gem of an opinion. It's from 1972, before lawyers were allowed to advertise at all (1977, Bates v. State Bar of Arizona).
(emphasis added)QUESTION
May a professional card of a lawyer be blue on blue, and may it
incorporate on its face an emblem such as the scales of justice?
OPINION
It is improper for the professional card or letterhead of a lawyer to
contain a distinctive monogram. N.Y. County 591 (1971); Wise, Legal
Ethics 145 (2d ed. 1970); DR 2-102(A) (1) and (4).
A lawyer's use of letterheads, professional cards and announcement
cards should conform to normal, modest sized lettering giving the
conventional information only, such as the name of the individual or
firm, the address, the telephone, and the cable code, if any. Wise,
Legal Ethics 169 (2d ed. 1970).
To permit embellishment of the usual simple professional card would
undoubtedly lead to the use of competitive symbols and the dignity of
the profession would be seriously compromised. The use of blue lettering
on blue stock rather than being conventional, customary and usual is
flamboyant and not dignified.
