Played some fallout 3. Point Lookout is hilarious because I’m local. Smibbys in the game are really hard to hurt.

Smibby is a term used locally for “st Mary’s inbred” or “southern Maryland inbred” depending on how close to st Mary’s you are.

The gist being that the stereotypically undereducated sister marrying, moonshine brewing, low income sort of cartoon are out there.

I was most surprised that there were no banjos or confederate flags, but I guess you’ve got to draw the line somewhere.

Side note, we have not fully descended into barbarians yet, though the boys and I are looking a little unkempt.

Boys are solo for the week. Pyewacket, Newton and I are left to our own devices as we lose two x chromosomes when Allison is off and running about 90 minutes away.

Planning on getting a little work and a little gaming done this week.

Had supper at the in-laws tonight, watched some pbs costume dramas, call the midwife and whatever the philandering American store owner in London 1920s show comes after.

I was called “young buck” by a senior gentleman at the post office today.

Blank. Vacant. Where’s my brain?  Echo echo echo
