CountryMouse's Refuge

Sounds good, huh? Misleading title. :-P This post has some about "Endless Ocean", a little about groceries, and a mention of a game we're going to play.

Last night late, when everyone else was asleep, I played "Endless Ocean" for at least two hours! I can't remember things in chronological order so I will just record some memories: beautiful manatees in a hidden series of caves; a graceful creature called a false killer whale, which is really a black dolphin; sending the wrong photograph to someone and not getting a second chance to right that mistake; taking someone on a dive and finding the fish he most wanted to see almost right away; petting lots of penguins, a seal, a sea lion, a lizard, and a brown booby (that's a bird, silly). Oh, and also witnessing the spawning of Japanese bull sharks; and most of all, night diving. I *so* love this game!

The guys just took off to get the groceries. They'll be hitting two supermarkets this morning (this doesn't count Friday night excursions to Fresh Market for our meat and produce, since the supermarkets are no longer trustworthy on those items).

As Cat'r went out, he said, "When we get back we'll play 99." I either have never played this or don't remember it. I think it's a card game using regular playing cards. We play so many games that sometimes it all becomes a blur. :-D
