<p>Like Silvermoonlock, we like the multi-day games of War, Crazy Eights and Monopoly. Best is playing Monopoly with my brother, sister-in-law and sons. My brother and S2 jump up and suddenly have a new rule for the game. The rule takes anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes to describe and then we argue over whether we are going to adopt it or not. We aren’t beyond good-natured cheating. We all have a good time.</p>

<p>I loved playing Monopoly with my older brother. He was the banker and somehow I always lost. Hmm. </p>

<p>Our families took annual beach vacations at Ocean City, Maryland and Atlantic City. It was a fourth dimension to see streets and walk the Boardwalk.</p>

<p>When my parents told us to go to bed, they intoned, “Go to Bed. Do not stop anywhere, do not pass go, do not collect $200.” We had to have our heads on the pillows before they said “$200.”</p>
