Memory Foam Mattresses

I bought me a memory foam mattress, and I have to say that I’ve never slept more comfortably. Now I’m not going to go sharing brand or store information because I don’t know the brand and I don’t want to admit that I shop at Wal-Mart.

But the point is that they are awesome, and if you do a bit of poking around you can find some really good deals on memory foam mattresses. Which means that if you do some poking around you can start to get a better night’s sleep for really cheap.

Okay, so my wife had to cajole me into getting the thing. Me, I’m too cheap to spend a dime that doesn’t scream at me first. But I’m really, really glad that I did. I haven’t slept so soundly since . . . well since long before I can remember. I’m a light sleeper and tend to wake up often at night. The memory foam mattress has helped with that, a lot. So do yourself a favor and go check out memory foam mattresses.

Magic The Gathering

I play Magic. At least I do when I can scrape together the time at the same time as other friends (or at least one of them) who also play magic.

Now, for those of you out there who have no idea what I’m talking about, go visit www.wizards.com and follow the links to magic the gathering. They will nicely explain it all to you in more concise and precise terms than I could possibly hope to (they get paid for that kind of thing, I don’t).

What attracts me to the game is the combination of fantasy flavor and strategy. I enjoy strategy games. Well, I enjoy most games. I enjoy thinking about my options and considering my opponents options and then trying to figure out what the best option really is.

I also like the pretty pictures on the cards and the amazing amount of work that wizards has put into keeping a game like magic health for as long as they have. You would think that after nearly 15 years it would have simply died. I for one am glad that it hasn’t.
