Boring or not, he wants to read more! It's a far cry from actually being out on the water like you are, but we are boaters and I was trying to explain what it means to keep his foot out of the "bite of a line." I googled it and happened across your blog. I work in marine insurance and also became obsessed with reading your blogs. I checked back in again today, and we're still hoping you'll pick back up soon. Please keep it up! ... And be safe. Just call me Mom.

Your goal is simple, but trickier than it sounds: to advance your character as far up the icy tower as possible without falling or being knocked offscreen. You ll be able to jump higher if you run faster, but you must take care not to slip off the platforms into the abyss. The game takes a rather humorous approach, with cartoon-style graphics that let you play as a hip-hop kid or a disco dude in a leisure suit. Although the demo version appears to disable a few of the game s more advanced features, you can still adjust the volume and reconfigure the controls to suit your taste. Icy Tower won t keep many folks on the edge of their seat, but it s likely to provide a few laughs. Though it lacks complex gameplay or a detailed plot, Icy Tower is a carefree way to kill some time.

Great photo too. Our kids are doing well, Charlie at kindy now and Emily has started walking. We are gearing up to move to Auckland soon - just have to find (or build) a house up there. Take care, Irene Hey Sandy,

Looks like you're all having a great adventure out there in the wild seas. Great site for catching up with how the family is going. We're all doing well and looking forward to summer. Hope we get a chance to catch up with you all sometime this year. Crazy how time is flying by. Had a real shock at how everyone had got sooooo much older at your dads birthday. Take care and be safe.
