Last night the wife and I headed over to carve pumpkins at the home of some friends. I got to play Star Wars Battlefront for the first time thanks to Nick. Nick's 10, and he got me away from the grown-ups-goings-on out in the kitchen. He also politely killed me just 41 times during our match-up. All-in-all I thought I handled myself pretty well for an old guy. I'd squash him at Atari Empire Strikes Back though, forget tow cables - aim straight for the flashy box! I also got to show off my skills at drawing Yoda on a pumpkin with a sharpie, then wield my trusty pocket blade to create a masterpiece for Halloween 2005 (seen here and here). My lovely bride created a spooky witch holding a jack-o-lantern (seen here and here). We'll see if they survive the night without a smashing....
