Our dining room table has a tablecloth. Under the tablecloth is a clear piece of plexiglas. Under that is a Cities & Knights of Catan board. No setup time needed! I played Settlers a few months ago, and it gets boring fast. Cities & Knights is far superior. Also beneath the plexiglas is a Backgammon board and a board for Mill (aka Nine Men's Morris).
Also, my group has biweekly ZPG (Zero Prep Game i.e., no traditional RPG) nights. A lot of the folks only bring new stuff, but some of us find our old favorites. The game I like to bring along in the hopes of getting a game together:
The newest one is a German card game called Die Sieben Segel (The Seventh Seal) that's a trick-taking game where you have to bid how many tricks you're going to take. Or sabotage the other players. Like Wizard but shorter.
Which reminds me, Wizard from US Game Systems is tremendous! Trick-taking with trump, 4 super-trump Wizards, and you only get points if you take exaclty as many tricks as you bid.
Many people are addicted to Reiner Knizia's sadly out-of-print Ivanhoe. It's about knights at a tourney and served as the inspiration for the With Great Power... conflict system.
Like Andy, we're fond of Zendo. Although my favorite Looney Labs game is Nanofictionary, the game of small stories.
In the same vein, few people will play Once Upon a Time with me, cause I'm quite good.
The boardgame Shark is a stock-trading game that's a great deal of fun and I suck at, yet will still play whenever able.
Good god, there's so very, very many on the shelves. My favorite from James Ernest is Witch Trial, because it allows for incredible parlor narration. But Diceland: DWS, Buttonmen, and the Dr. Luckys are quite worn out. And Bitin' Off Heads.
They love Are You A Werewolf? (aka Mafia, or Hitman) I suck at bluffing so I regularly moderate.
Plus tons more that we've only tried once.

Pirates of the Spanish Main
(et al.) is a fun game, though the "collectibility" thing is pretty offensive. The minis are excellent, the rules are at their core good and fun, but underdesigned. I've got an inordinate number of ships, but have pretty much lost interest in getting more.[/li]

We play weekly and keep it mixed up.
Our at least once a month set includes:
Puerto Rico, Ticket to Ride (& Europe), Ingenious*, Alhambra, Web of Power, Santiago*, Apples to Apples, For Sale, Fluxx. Time's Up has a lot of potential.
* indicates new, so who knows if it'll have staying power?
Quote from: Joshua A.C. Newman
Apples to Apples (which I think is fun, but my fianc�e thinks is fun to an unreasonable degree)
We burned out on Apples to Apples for a while for just this reason. Because kids and adults can play together and it's such a party game, we gamed the heck out of it with a few friends. Then we didn't touch it for months.
My fiance [note the upgrade ;)] and I frequently play:
Carcassone: The Castle, the Settler's Card Game (expansions included), Russian Rails (or Empire Builder), and Ingenious.
Settlers of Catan/ Cities and Knights is her favorite game. I think it's a little long, since who's going to win is often determined an hour before the game ends, but I still enjoy it. My favorite was Through the Desert-- now, I'm uncertain.
Trias is fiddly and fun. Ursuppe [Primordal Soup] seems slow but is often fun. I'd love to play some more Euphrates and Tigris, but we're not quite that heavy a gaming group. The same is true of White Lotus, which just hasn't gotten the play it deserves.
It's a good time to be a board gamer.

Card games. I like learning and playing new card games, like Schnapsen and 99.
I've become a recent convert to Ticket to Ride as well. We have a number of board games (like Plague and Ursuppe) and Cheap Ass games (Give me the Brain!) that are squirreled away. We really should drag them out more often.

Formula D�
and a homebrew air-racing variant of the same.
Do tell!
Ah, Air-Racing; trying to recall the rules off the top of my head. They have been designed for participation games at conventions, and the like, so it's pretty "visual". It started off as Formula De with rulers & turn circles, but has now been reduced to this, pretty much:
You need:
* A large board (9'-12' square)
* Several 1/72nd scale WW2-era aircraft, with pontoons, painted up in racing colours. One per player.
* 3-4 Turn Pylons, at a similar scale. Lay those out to make the 'track'
* 2nd, 3rd, 4th gear turn circles (these are arcs of differing radii, with inch markings along the circumference)
* A set of Formula De dice + 1d20 per plane to show Stress Points.
The correct route and number of laps is decided & agreed. All the planes start off with 15 (IIRC) Stress Points - indicated by the d20 - and in 1st gear. Have to get to speed 7 (top of 2nd Gear) to take off, and you cannot drop back into 1st (you will stall). Height is irrelevant -- all planes are considered to be skimming the ground, more-or-less.
Play proceeds from the current leader to the plane at the back. The player then has to estimate (by eye) the orders and declare them;
"12 inches forward, slide left 3 inch, with the rest on a left turn"
, etc. The appropriate gear die is then rolled and the route is determined using a ruler and the turn circles. You can slideslip up to 1/3rd of your forward movement, but that doesn't alter your heading. If you are going in a higher gear than the radius of your turn, you take one stress point per smaller radii you go for (thus doing a radius 4 turn in 6th costs 2 Stress Points). Dropping more than one gear at once also costs extra Stress Points. If you run out of Stress Points, your plane crashes (airframe breakage, pilot error, whatever).
If you misjudge a turn and cut a corner, you have to go back around that pylon before proceeding. Sometimes you will get shot at by ground AA guns (see below).
If you are touching (ish) another plane, roll d20s and check for matching numbers. The loser takes a Stress Point of damage. If you roll maximum in 5th or 6th gears, all planes will suffer a Stress Point of damage on a 1-2 on a d20. (This is all the same as Formula De, pretty much).
All planes have been given fixed-forward firing guns. These have infinite range and ammo and a 15 degree off-centerline arc. The attacker moves backwards 1" and rolls a d20. If the attacker fired on the same target last turn they hit on a 1-4, otherwise they hit on a 1-2. Hitting causes the target to lose a Stress Point. If the attacker rolls a 20, the guns jam and cannot be used for the rest of the race.
After crossing the finishing line, you have to land your plane safely to land and pick up your medal. Roll 1d20, add the number of Stress Points you have left and get 7 or more to land safely. Otherwise you crash and receive the medal posthumously.
There are a few other niceties, and as I said, it started off more complicated, but these seem to play well.

I play Go. I've been intrigued by it for over a decade, but only playing seriously for a little over a year. I'm currently 14 kyu.
I've also been acknowlegding the consimmer side of my nature of late (within reason). As others mentioned, Memoir '44 is awesome, especially with the Russian Front expansion (and Pacific comes later this year, woot!) but of late I've switched over to Command & Colors: Ancients, which is the same system, slightly elaborated, applied to ancients battles (Rome vs Carthage, with Greeks & Persians coming later this year). I've been getting into CDGs, specifically Wilderness War (French & Indian aka 7 Years War), Twilight Struggle (Cold War), and Hannibal: Rome v. Carthage ('nuff said). I recently got to play Friedrich, which is an amazingly awesome multi-player "eurowargame" covering the 7 Years War in Europe (everybody dogpile Prussia!). Zero!/Corsairs & Hellcats is to the air war in the Pacific what M '44 is to the land war in Europe (light, fast, but super thematic) and has been seeing some table time. And Attack Vector: Tactical has taken over the part of my brain that used to be dedicated to Star Fleet Battles.
On the non-consim front, I just picked up Havoc, by Sunriver Games, which is a really cool drafting & battling card game with light Hundred Years war theme. Highly recommend to anyone who likes card games. Dungeon Twister (Asmodee) is so cool, kind of a battling puzzle game with awesome dungeon combat theming, and almost no luck. Domaine is a fabulous "fighty" euro with a great tempo. And I just got turned on to (and won a copy of) Railroad Tycoon which is not only an amazing game to look at, but also to play.

my answers have to be mostly past tense, because as I've mentioned before, my deep dark secret is that I don't like most card, board or dice games. I used to play quite a few as a kid, but something about them turns me off. RPGs ruined me for other games.
Here's what I have played in the past. I'm mostly listing them to forestall anybody saying "oh, you just didn't play the right games! You should play X."
board games: Monopoly, Easy Money, Pay Day, Aggravation, Operation, Battleship, Clue, Stratego, Risk, Talisman, Dungeon, Life, Magic Realm (or was that Enchanted Realm?), Trivial Pursuit (I almost beat Kibo!), Scrabble, Stargate, chess, checkers, probably a couple others
card games: Munchkin, Hack!, Flux, Uno, Guillotine, Give Me The Brain, Pipes (I think that's what it was called,) hearts, go fish, poker, blackjack, war, spit, solitaire
plus miscellaneous games like tic tac toe, Connect Four, Twister, that bean bag Tic Tac Toe game, four-dimensional tic tac toe, I Spy, hangman, 20 questions and so on.

Well, um, you didn't, but that's okay, you dont' have to ;)
Magic Realm (or was that Enchanted Realm?)
Did it involve log sheets and a rulebook that would choke a horse? Then it was Magic Realm. Otherwise it was something else! :)

There *is* no right game, for me.

I'm unclear about the size of the rulebook, and I'm not sure how many logsheets there were. It's the game with the hex tiles that you connect for your map, and that you turn over when a hex is enchanted.

Yeah, it's changed quite a bit, now. The freeform movement rules was the 1st big change, and then changing the tyre, bodywork, etc. tracks into one number simplified things and made shooting a more effective tactic. Somebody in front? They must have done some hard (stress-inducing) turns to get there, so a couple of lucky shots will take them out of the race!

Hmm. I play a lot of board games. I also play Shadowfist (the CCG about hong-kong action movies stories).
Off the top of my head (and brief perusal of the thread), Citadels, Money (Kniza), Ingenious (kniza), Tigris and Euphraties, Merchant of Venus (old, but fun), Power Grid, Puerto Rico, San Juan, Gua, New England, Acquire (one of the best games of all time!), Button Men (but admitedly mostly on the website), Pit, and Set (hard to stop playing...). Santiago's good too (and I want to play more Primordial Soup).
Recently, I've finally got around to learning Muterer and Caylus (ok, but of a diffential there) but I need to play them more.
There are, of course, a bunch of other games I'm at least lukewarm about but will play -- Diamont, Jungle Speed, Castle of Magic, and Settlers among them.

My gaming group is part of a larger circle that meets smi-regularly to play Diplomacy, Starfarers of Catan, and poker. That's pretty much all we play these days in the way of analog, although various among us have been eying certain German board games, so our horizons might soon be expanding. (Some of the other guys play a couple of wargames, and use used to play
, but I'm not so much into that stuff these days.)

Realm rulez! Why does an inveterate RPG player play a fantasy boardgame that simulates being a RPG? I don't know! :-)

People have started to think that PC gaming has been on the deathbed for quite some time now. However the newly formed group dubbed "The PC Game Alliance" might have what it takes to bring much needed life back to the PC gaming world.
Before the PCGA was only a rumour on the internet bringing glimpses of hope to the PC gaming scene, and to everyones joy, they announced themselves at GDC.
Activision, Epic and Microsoft as PC Game devs;hardware companies such as AMD, Nvidia and Intel, and PC OEM firms Dell, Acer, Alienware and Gateway all make up this rag tag team of PC justice!
The entire focus of this coalition actually has some legit meaning to it. It being Industy Leadership, Platform leadership, and consumer leadership.
They will help game developers with consistency and security with upcoming titles coming out for the PC. Really think of this group as a Quality Assurance for up and coming PC games so that PC gamers get the best god damn experience out there!
Although I do find a bit fishy that microsoft is part of this group because they haven't been a big player in gaming except for Ram hoggin' OS's. It makes me think what there motive really is. As for Epic and Activision, I know they have what it takes to produce a good game and am quite glad that they are on the team.
Hardware teaming up with software companies to promote consistency with graphics and hardware so that games don't come out requiring GOD machines (Crysis), or just look too ugly to play (We don't want another E.T.). Smart smart smart move. It might create a universal game/hardware relationship so we know exactly what it takes to play a particular game.
Having PC firms such as Dell and alienware in it I beleive to be mainly marketing and industry power. Dell is a powerhouse when it comes to the PC industry and having them on our side is really cool. Lets just hope they don't come out with "Ultora Gamezoring MAchines" that are really built with crappy generic stuff.
They do not plan to have a "PCGA SEAL OF APPROVAL" like nintendo did WAY back when, but instead to work more behind the scenes as a fighter of PC justice.
Score one for the PC team!

Aaron was amazing to work with. Any question I had he answered or found me the answer! He stayed in close communication with me through the entire process and even volunteered to come in on his day off if it worked better for me. This is my second purchase from Land Rover/Jaguar and you can be sure I will be back!
Gracias yo no sueño con un carro asi por lo menos lo vi de no tener carro a uno así feliz mi niña es feliz
Aaron was excellent to work with. Efficient, effective and an advocate for finding the best fit car for me. He did a great job explaining every step.
Pleasant people, nice facility. Great selection of vehicles. No pressure at all during the car buying process. Aaron was very nice, professional and proficient. Thanks
Best car buying experience I've ever had! Aaron was very easy to work with, and paid attention to the details! He actually listens, and that's hard to find anywhere now a days! Great job Aaron and team!

This was our second experience with Jeff Smith and Flatirons! It, again, was wonderful! We knew exactly what we wanted and we got exactly that ! Jeff made this process very easy on us yet we could tell it took work on his part! With Boulder being a second home, this dealership will always be number 1! Thank you Jeff Smith and Flatirons for my perfect car!
When dealing with Jeff you feel he has your best interest at heart. Easy to talk to and a real asset to the dealership!!!! Stephanie and Jeff made the transaction very positive
This dealership is the best! I have bought many vehicles , and this was but far the best buying experience I have ever had, they had the best customer service I have seen!
I have been working with Jeff Smith at Land Rover Flatirons for over 10 years. Each experience was efficient, professional, and painless, its what luxury car buying should be. Jeff and the rest of the Flatirons team are all Pros.

Karina loves range rovers and it shows! She helped come up with a purchase and maintenance package that was fair and we left thrilled with our new vehicle. Thanks Karina!
As a previous customer, I sold my disco and was ready to buy a new LR. I sent in my requirements for a sport HSE with off road option. She responded with a sport on the lot which had no off-road. When I told her there was no off road, she never responded. I reached out to the internet sales manager and he never responded. Good news, SLC dealership found a sport and picking it up this week. While many dealerships were closed, these guys from SLC found a sport from a closed dealership and bright it out. What a disappointment.
Our experience working with Karina and the team was smooth, effortless, and enjoyable. Karina took the time to go over multiple vehicle options with us (across a wide spectrum of models) in order to find the best fit for our needs. The team was friendly, flexible, and informative throughout the entire process. They were upfront from the start with no hidden numbers, additional fees, etc. We were never pressured at any point and they never attempted to steer us in a specific direction. This was our first experience with Land Rover and it was one of the best dealership experiences I've ever had. I look forward to working with Karina and the dealership again in the future!
I had read reviews about the dealership, esp Karina. I was glad she helped me with my process. The best thing is their willingness to hear and understand the requirements, able to negotiate the terms clearly, and establish a relation built on trust. I had to review, negotiate and decide on such a big decision, from Colorado Springs. Karina was constantly in touch, sent me updated videos and made sure all the terms are clear to me. The paperwork was prepared in advance and they had all the proces set, before I arrived. a major worry was that , after going through so much process, what if there are hidden charges and additional costs. But,I did not see any change in the numbers, after driving all the way to Broomfield. No salesman tricks, jargon or bullying in to accepting higher numbers than promised. I had that experience with almost every other dealership. the Owning process was smooth, fast and efficient. Michelle from finance was very helpful with the loan processing. In all, it was a very wonderful experience and I am very happy with my purchase

Defender test drive went fine. Liked the car. Salesperson very knowledgeable. On follow up, via email, we asked to be added to Defender 90 wait list, but never heard anything back. Interested in Defender 90 when custom orders are open.
I have purchased new vehicles in the past, but the attention the sales and staff at Flatirons Land Rover provide their customers is truly first class. You will be happy not only with the sale process but the follow up and continued support. Whether it be the trucks computer, your Bluetooth connection, or anything related they are there to help and even have a team that all they do is rectify these types of issues that all car owners have irrespectful of the brand.
Great customer service and knowledgeable about products. I enjoyed working with everyone I came into contact with. Customer service during and after the sale was top notch.

It was an absolute pleasure doing business with Land Rover Flatirons. We bought a pre owned car and did all the process via e-mail, which was extremely easy. I am so glad we had Mark helping us, he was super helpful. What caught my attention when I first contacted Mark was his professionalism. Since we were out of state he promptly offered to facetime and show me the car live, I thought it was very nice of him to offer that. Also, he always got back to me quickly, and answered all my questions. He went above and beyond to meet my requests. I highly recommend him as a salesperson. Michele Lewis was also incredible helping us with the finance and paperwork. She was very patient explaining everything we needed to know, and even helped us getting a great financing rate.
Mark has been wonderful to work with. We purchased our Jaguar from Spokane and handled the transaction remotely. He was always available to answer questions and followed up on all details. I've purchased many cars over the years. He was by far the best salesperson we have had. Excellent.

Miss USA Erin Brady: 5 Things You Need To Know About Her
Miss Connecticut was crowned as the new Miss USA on June 16! But who exactly is Erin Brady? We have all the scoop!
The 2013 Miss USA Competition on June 16 was a night of thrills and surprises, but the best moment was when Erin Brady (Miss Connecticut) took home the crown!
Erin Brady: 5 Things To Know About Miss Connecticut
1. Erin Brady is taken; she's engaged to Tony Capasso. @Glenda_G_ tweeted, "Congrats to Erin Brady (Mrs. Future Capasso) I'm so proud of you!!!!!!!!!!! Miss CT now Miss USA! Yessssss CT Stand Up!!!!!" (And yes, they have their own wedding website.)
2. Her wedding date conflicts with the Miss Universe pageant! Nov. 9, 2013 was announced as the date of this year's pageant in Moscow. (Uh oh!)
3. Erin grew up in a family that suffered from alcohol and substance abuse. She's now an advocate for children in similar situations.
4. She graduated with a degree in finance and a minor in criminal justice from Central Connecticut State University. She's currently a financial accountant for Prudential Retirement in Hartford, Conn. She plans to get her MBA soon, and she'd like to be involved with Pension Risk Transfers.
5. Twitter users are not fans of Erin's. While answering questions in regards to social media, Erin said she's a people person and would much rather talk to someone on the phone, as opposed to tweeting or Facebooking others. Unfortunately, the comment ticked off some of her fans. @The CatchFence wrote, "Oh, Miss Connecticut doesn't like Twitter? Well then F u too."
So HollywoodLifers — do you think the right person won the crown? Let us know!

- 12 ounces mild link sausage, cooked and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 can (4 ounces) sliced mushrooms, drained
- 6 ounces cream cheese, cut into 1/4-inch cubes

- Unroll one tube of the rolls; press dough onto the bottom and up the sides of a greased 11x7-in. baking pan to form a crust. Seal perforations. Sprinkle sausage over crust. In a skillet, saute onion in butter until tender; add mushrooms. Spoon over sausage. Top with cheeses and pimientos. In a bowl, beat eggs, cream, parsley, salt, pepper and garlic powder; pour over all. Unroll second tube of rolls; seal perforations. Cut dough lengthwise into 1/2-in. strips.

This was a big hit with my family. I eliminated the mushrooms and used all of the crescent rolls for the crust. After reading some of the reviews complaining about big bites of cream cheese, I was careful to spread it out as much as possible.

I have made this for several church functions and it is always a hit. I eliminate the mushrooms and pimentos as I do not care for them. After the first time with big bites of cream cheese, I now soften the cream cheese in the microwave on low for about 30 seconds and beat with the eggs; much better. I also use all the crescent rolls for the crust and eliminate the strips on top.

I made this quiche today and it was tasted by four adults. None of us were crazy about it. I am a fan of crescent roll crusts, so that was probably the best part. Otherwise we did not care for the mushrooms (normally we like mushrooms, but in this dish they tasted kind of slimy) and it was way too much cream cheese! I thought it would all kind of melt together with the eggs after baking, but it didn't. I would take one bite that would be lots of egg, and the next just a big mouthful of cream cheese. I think there are much better quiche recipes out there! Obviously, from other ratings, some people do like it though.

Excellent! My kids keep asking me to make it over and over.

I made this one for a church function- exactly like the recipe- EXCELLENT- and loved by everyone. Will certainly make again.

I made this for a ladie's church functin, eliminating the mushrooms and pimientos as I personally do not care for them. It was a huge success and was very quickly gone.

Not really. Just a different bike, but it felt good to ride something that didn't sound as if it were falling to pieces.
I didn't get much sleep last night, so combined with this week's mile-fest, I had a lot of trouble getting any momentum this morning. I didn't have time for a proper breakfast, so I lashed a pair of bananas onto my rear rack along with my clothes.
Hybridzilla's rear rack is seatpost-mounted and doesn't have a good way to hold my panniers while keeping them out of the spokes. I had to wear a backpack, but I loaded as much stuff as I could onto the rack with its integrated tie-down bungees.
Hybridzilla's treadless slick tires really do roll almost as well as my road bike's narrow tires. I'm constantly amazed at how well behaved this bike is for the mere pittance I've spent on it so far. If I didn't have to carry a backpack when commuting on it, I'd probably use it more often. Unfortunately, buying another cargo rack and set of fenders is an expenditure for a later time. This bike is pretty minimalistic, and I like that.
Look Maww! No Hands!
Approaching 79th and Quivira, I saw John C's tail strobe. Already ravenous, I started working on a banana while watching Karen's LED headlight glisten over the hill near Monrovia, still a minute or two away. Karen wheeled through the intersection. John and I followed along. I was still munching. Somewhere along Nieman, I found a storm drain, where I jettisoned the banana carcass.
I managed 42.8 MPH on Hybridzilla down the 67th street hill. This high-cadence endeavor actually woke my legs up quite a bit, and made the rest of the ride seem a bit easier. As slow as I thought I'd be, we made good time. It's been nice having a daily convoy all week.
I was alone at *$ this morning for a while. Eventually, Lorin and JR showed up. Here's Hybridzilla, all geared up. The second banana is still strapped to the rear rack.
Bungees cause hell on bananas.

KC Bike Week 2008 Day 4: A New Beginning
Not really. Just a different bike, but it felt good to ride something that didn't sound as if it were falling to pieces.

I'd Start with a rack (Maybe a Blackburn MTN-1?http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BNS2UG/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&seller=) that has a shelf so you could live without fenders for a while.

That has to come after:
* New BB for the Twelve
* More bike shorts
* New set of panniers.
I'm making good money, and saving some cash by riding to work. I can't just go out and buy all this stuff at once, though.

I feel your pain. Nothing beats having a perfectly good Kodak Digcam jump out of your pannier while not paying attention and in the process of making a citywide commute. It was a $300+ mistake.

You better hope somebody doesn't call the fruit police because of those bruises you gave that bananna.

Indeed, there are always bicycle needs ... but seriously, I bought a decent (Axiom brand, I think) rack for my old mountain bike for under $25, including tax. I have the same rack on my road bike and haven't had any problems. They're inexpensive and strong.

Heh... I just started bike commuting last week and there was an article in today's paper about how the only city ranked worse than Indianapolis for bike commuting is KC, I guess for bike lane mileage. Somehow I ended up here, but it sure seems like you have your act together in KC!
I guess I've tried this enough times that I'm ready to get a rack and stuff. The backpack is heavy!

Kansas City is ranked dead last in the 50 largest US cities based on (I believe) the percentage of trips taken on bicycle, or perhaps it's percentage of commuters who ride to work.
Regardless, Kansas City is trying very, very hard. We have a long way to go. We are far away from being a bastion of bike friendliness. Narrow roadways in a state of disrepair cover most of the surface area of downtown. Motorists are rarely held accountable for killing or injuring cyclists, and there are very few "safe" thoroughfares for cyclists to use between the myriad municipalities around here.
What trails we do have are loosely scattered about, when some of them could be joined together with more planning and some funds.
Also, keep in mind that this is Bike Week. This is when people -- for a brief, fleeting moment -- embrace bicycles before returning to their regularly scheduled commute featuring a 10 MPG couch-on-wheels.
Congrats on taking the challenge to commute by bike. I'm enjoying the many benefits, which I find outweigh the challenges. I hope you can do the same.

If Kansas City is Dead last at 50 then Houston must be just above it.

Nope. Thirty Forth out of Fifty.

Adventure Annie Goes to Kindergarten
From the author of the 2013 Caldecott Honor Book, ONE COOL FRIEND!
Annie Grace wears her "Adventure Annie" cape to her first day of kindergarten, and proceeds to barrel through the day, searching for adventure in every moment. Her interpretation of the class's Gold Star Rules isn't exactly what her teacher, Mr. Todd, had in mind. But somehow Annie does manage to save the day when two of her classmates get lost on their way to retrieve the afternoon snack. Spirited and funny, this is an introduction to kindergarten that will please kids and teachers alike.
