War - The Fun Kind

I taught Kelly the card game "war" today. It blew my mind there was a single person who didn't know this game. Anyway, this has been added to our two card game list, the first being Toepen (pronounced Toopin, it's Dutch).

We saw the catacombs today. So cool! The ancient Romans built 5 stories of tunnels under the churches that span a total of 11 miles. For shelter? As a hideout? No, to put their dead people. There are countless human-sized "shelves" carved out of the walls where they laid their dead to rest. I'd love to show you photos, but they weren't allowed.

Kelly and I were going to leave Saturday, but Kelly happened to read that Simon and Garfunkel are giving a *free* concert at the Colosseum Sat night to end their tour. So we (and probably hundreds of thousands of others) are going to go see them tomorrow night. What are the odds? That's rhetorical, the odds are 23774463 to 1.
