I'm proud to say that my daughter Millie came down to visit. My daughter Maja is the older one, the gamer, the convention attendee, the game master. Millie is the basketball junkie, the animal lover, and its been more than six months since I got to spend quality with just her...
I picked her up from an event at a friend in the former neighborhood, and we set off for food on a later Saturday afternoon, to find everything crazy. We finally resorted to the dining section of a local pizza joint down the street from my apartment. Buffalo Chicken Pizza, fries, and self-serve fountain drinks? No complaints from me.
Right behind Millie's shoulder was a bank of bubble gum and other vending machines, mostly the classic capsule/egg dispensers. Quarters were acquired... and dug out of the door of my car, and she tried out most of them.
I don't remember giving into these machines when she was a kid, so as I watched her go through capsule after capsule of the barnyard animals machine, just because she saw one with a cat in it, which meant there had to be others to it, I went through my own version of PTSD with the NFL helmets and a collection of Houston Oiler and Creamsicle orange Tampa Bay Buccannears no matter what machine she used.
When we got home, she took matters into her own hands, taking multiples of frogs, elephants, and capybaras and made three black cats.

Now I might have to break out blood bowl or something similar for some giant game with all these critters running around.
