So it has been way too long since I have posted. So here is an update on the hair situation -
MAN! My hair grows fast and full. And there is even more gray. And curls. It is a little disconcerting that as far as I know, in my immediate family, no one else has curls like this. I'll keep asking my mom (I have her hair - as my dad starting losing his hair in his 20's) which relative has curly-wavy hair.
I think I am past the danger zone - no more hair tickling my ears or my eyes. That was when it was really annoying and I threatened to cut it off.
I keep telling my daughter that as soon as it gets long enough, I will put it in pigtails tied with pink ribbons and I will pick her up at school - and wear a name tag that says, "Lily's Dad." She said she would die of embarrassment, so I told her that I would go to bed early that night since my job as a parent would be done.
Anyway, I am far from 10 inches of hair, but I am well on the way. More updates later.

FLASH Game - Dino Run
As much as those of my generation (personal computer gaming pioneers) hate to admit, we have neither the time nor potentially the inclination to play games on our computers like we used to when we were young.
So what do we do for a quick game fix? I might play a quick FLASH game.
There are flash game depots all over the web, but I like Armorgames.com and Miniclip.com.
The nice part of Armorgames is that they rate the games and you can sort on rating.
Right now I am playing a FLASH game called Dino Run. It is a retro game where you have to race your dinosaur against the clock. The game puts all sorts of obstacles in your way, holes in the ground, bluffs to climb, other slower dinos, etc.
This game has a wonderfully retro feel - the dino is all pixelated, the soundtrack has a wonderful 8-bit boop-beep sound to it, and the controls are right, left and up. On a console, this would have had one of those non-ergonomic chrome joysticks with the round red ball on the end, and a jump button with a cigarette burn on it, and I would be smelling pizza from the counter.
For simple, entertaining, mindless fun, try Dino Run.
