My wife and I spent a relaxing Sunday evening with some friends last night. Our daughter acted up, which is out of character, but par for the course when we are with those friends. It was fun to see our daughter was taller than the children 3-9 months older than she is. Daddy is proud of his tall girl.

After a great potluck dinner, we sat around chatting about everything from crashing very expensive cars, to the Godfather, to the important things in life.

While the topic of games came up more than once among the guys, all assembled were mutually horrified and impressed by the extensive domain knowledge I exhibited. Truly, I am in the wrong industry. But I suppose that is why i still have my job when the more enticing employers are laying off in droves.

One of the guys last night has become a permanent fixture at EA. I was able to see his project at the low point, but have no interest in the much-hyped title which is slated for an impending release. Not to say his work is of a poor quality, nor that the title won't move mountains. Simply put, the game is not my kind of game. Nevertheless, I wish his title success because he worked on it.

Man that was some great teriyaki chicken.
