Name of the Game

Great Granddaughter Myla turns 2 next week.  She babbles like 2 year olds do.  Happy Birthday Myla.

The last week of May has always contained family birthdays.  My Sister Addie would have been 71 (she died way too early) on the 25th.  My Uncle Jerry turned 83, also on the 25th of May.  Lastly, my Dad would have been 95 on the 28th.

Grasshopper No.5 works for GameStop.  I see they posted a 15% earnings increase in the last quarter.  Whoa!  Gamestop is going to be the center of game universe as it releases merchandise supporting Jurassic Park and Star Wars over the next 6 months.  I see the stock price jumped 7% on the news this morning.  Does all the good news mean No.5 gets a big raise?  I guess you’ll have to ask her.

I walked past a GameStop retail store this morning and there were young people sitting outside waiting for the store to open.  Apparently GameStop is re-releasing a Nintendo Classic Video game.  Sitting!  Waiting!  Anticipating! Oh, my!

My Green Bay Packer obligations are ramping up.  I have to go to the annual stockholders meeting in July.  The Brett Favre “lovefest” will be held in July as he gets indoctrinated into the Packer Hall of fame.  The first pre-season game occurs shortly thereafter.  My world is just filled with “football madness”.

June begins Monday.

Love,

Dad
