I wrote about The Autobiography of Mark Twain in yesterday's edition of Small Town Newspaper. You can read it here , if you want. This is the photograph I had in mind while I read Clemens' dictations. He really was a masterful storyteller, even when rambling on about the poorly designed door knobs in Florence or in describing the Countess Massiglia, who he described as a "pestiferous character." About her, he said, “She is excitable, malicious, malignant, vengeful, unforgiving, selfish, stingy, avaricious, coarse, vulgar, profane, obscene, a furious blusterer on the outside and at heart a coward.” And I laughed out loud.

I haven't played Yahtzee since I was a kid. Now I'm going to have to go and buy some.
Doh!
As we say here in New England, it sounds like you had wicked great time.
Sassy: Crapzees is what I usually play.
Kim: my teenagers actually like it, I think.
Rich: And peace be to you.
Anonymous: thanks. I'm sorry I told you you were going to hell.
Lynn: play Yahtzee with Dive so he doesn't have to play alone. And I swear, if Ame shows up and makes something untoward out of that comment...
Old Knudson: I don't get it.
#1: I didn't know. But thanks for telling me. Knowing that allowed me to make her reply personal.
I LOOOOOOOOOOVE LOVE LOVE LOOOOOOOVE Yahtz-face...that's what my fave (of the 8 that I've had) brother-in-law and I used to call it! LOL! We'd play (not alone, that's incest isn't it? DIVE, you go right ahead...unless LYNN'S joining you and if so, we want PICTURES!)...anywaye we'd play for HOURS...
I even have a Texas Hold-Em version now, anyone seen that one?!
Go ahead Knuddie, knock yourself out with THAT one!
=)))
If Dive and i ever play Yahtzee i'm sure pictures will be taken and posted. lol. Maybe it won't happen because i have a mobile phone AND boobs of a womanly proportion. There may be a sign at the door prohibiting my entry.
And Lynn, I have a cell phone too, and am none too skinny, so we would both be shut out at athe door, I'm afraid. His loss, isn't it, the snob.
