I know, I know, I missed last week’s round up… Last weekend I spend 25 hours playing various games (mostly board games) with friends to raise funds for children’s hospitals as part of an event called Extra Life. I raised almost 300$ individually, and my team is just a few dollars short of raising $1,000 total. It was a fun event for a great cause, and was a perfect reason to enjoy hard cider.

I just LOVE Angry Orchard’s Cinnful Cider. SO GOOD! And it was a perfect drink to play one of my favorite board games, Empire Builder! Alright, enough of why I am a slacker and onto this week’s news.
