Following the blog link trail, I stumbled onto Alex Je. Cavanaugh's site and discovered that he is running this thing called 'It's All Fun and Games Blogfest' ... being the brilliant internet marketer that I am, my reaction was, 'huh'? So Alex done 'splained it to me ... it's an activity that bloggers participate in by doing whatever 'challenge' the sponsoring blog-meitster lays down ... in this case it's name your three favorite games. Evidently, the point of this is to help generate traffic to your website, so, okay, I'll play.
Most of the games I saw mentioned were computer oriented games, but I didn't see any parameters for TYPES of games, and, since I think the last computer game I played was Pong, I'm going to have to go off-line for this activity ... I hope that's okay with Alex. Anyway, my three favorite games are:
Golf - what can I say, it's what I do. Why? Probably has something to do with low self-esteem.
Baseball - I'm not sure this qualifies, because, it's not something I actually play (I was in Little League, but that was one or two years ago), but God help me, I love it so.
Pinochle - I haven't really played in while, but when I was into it ... I was into it. Primary reason I flunked out of my first semester in college.
Well, there you have it. I'm not sure I've done this properly, but aren't you proud of my effort?
Are you a good golfer or do you chase the ball through the grass a lot?
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating in the blogfest!
I always loved playing baseball. I stink at golf. I hit a fence and my mom's friend.
ReplyDeleteI love to watch baseball. Actually play - not so much.
ReplyDeleteAlex: All I can say is that I'm at peace with my game.
ReplyDeleteM Pax: Baseball been bery bery good to me.
Carolsnotebook: I watch the Tigers every chance I get ... sometimes I wish I hadn't, but overall I always enjoy.
It was a great effort, Christopher. I've never played any of your games. Okay, I've tried golf, but I just got too frustrated and gave it up. I'm still "involved" in it since my husband and I own a company that puts on golf tournaments. Luckily, my involvement is primarily the website.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Helen, I'm learning! Golf tournaments, eh? I'm guessing hubby likes to chase the little white ball around.
ReplyDeleteI used to walk the dog across a golf course, had to stop when the new dog starting stealing the balls!
ReplyDeleteDorothy, I would think that would be trait you'd want to cultivate in Fido ... think how much $$$ you could make selling used balls.
ReplyDeleteWhat's Pinochle really like to play? I've read about it in books of card games, but never really got a sense of it on an intuitive level.
ReplyDeleteI used to play softball when I was younger. Now I like to kick back and watch the boys of summer.
ReplyDeleteI played golf on my Wii one afternoon. I was very, very bad at it.
keworthfiles: Pinochle is to Bridge what checkers is to chess ... not too taxing but fun.
ReplyDeleteM.J.: Me too ... watching the Tigers on a lazy Sunday afternoon is just this side of Heaven (if they are winning, that is). I tried that Wii once at my niece's house ... had to quit after I knocked over a lamp and hit the dog with the controller thingy.
I've played mini golf, does that count?
ReplyDeleteAny fellow golfer is a friend of mine! TOTALLY understand the self-esteem slant. I think my game is a sadist sometimes.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! And continued success in your career.
I can't wait until my little guys are old enough that we can teach them how to play baseball! :)
ReplyDeletebaygirl: Sure it counts ... it ain't easy slipping a putt through the clown's mouth and past that windmill sail!
ReplyDeleteBryce: Yeah, sometimes I wonder why we actually pay for that abuse ... like I said, it has to be low self-esteem! Thanks for the encouragement!
Nicole: What ... not soccer? Well, that's encouraging!
