Short blurb

Hey, have you seen the new M&Ms packages with Indiana Jones? Of course it is the Indiana Jones from 25 years ago! Harrison Ford is quite young in these pictures!

Some 80s news and a site for games

I just saw on Yahoo! that there will be a G.I. Joe movie out in theaters in 2009. I find it interesting that last summer we had Transformers and a re-made TMNJ, and now next summer we'll have G.I. Joe.

You can read the article here:

My last post got me thinking about games I played as a youngster. I thought I would search online for another game we played every summer, "Kick the Can." Do kids still play this? I found a really interesting site here. It described several games by category.

Hope you're having a great week!
