I'm starting to loathe titles
There's too much self-inflicted pressure to come up with a witty title for a post.
I watched House with the folks last night and at one point my mom urgently said, "Rewind it!" My father obliged and mom then said, "Look at the lower right side of the desk." On the right side of Wilson's desk, under a lamp, was a game my uncle invented. It was cool to see it but sad at the same time. My uncle got a patent for it and everything but went into business with the wrong guy. Said guy basically robbed my uncle of millions. They went to court but I never really heard what happened. The whole thing is depressing. Never sign anything without letting a lawyer look at it. But my uncle was thrilled to see it on TV and was even thinking that perhaps they pick it up and play with it between takes.

what game is it?
you have the most interesting relatives!
ah, the downside to interesting relatives.
That's a shame that your uncle got cheated out of his share of that invention. That was really uncool of his business partner. Any chance he could sue to get some of that money back? Either way, it's a cool toy! I hope he's happy people like it and think it's a neat idea.
Lesson learned: if I ever invent something, I'll get a good lawyer.
Hey Alisa - have you talked to Jackie lately? Did you hear that she had a girl? Where did you go in Charleston that had good Mexican food?
Oh my Gosh - like 5 guys in my office have that golf ball game sitting on their desks.
No, I don't have it. Sorry - can you give it to me again and I will send you Jackie's information? The baby's name is Abigail Lauren Ruck (I tried to get her to name her Abigail Susan, but to no evail). She came in weighing 10lbs. 3oz. and 22 1/4" tall. She is petite like her Aunt Susie.
Emailed you pics - hopefully the file wasn't too large and you were able to open it. Yes, it happened by C-Section.
