Micro Post

Do you remember that matching game you played as a kid? The one where you would line up all the columns and rows of cards and by flipping two, you would try to find a match. The trick of the game being that you would need to remember where certain cards were from flipping them previously, so that you could make matches from memory.



The Lemur is a formidable opponent at this game. And he just fills with glee at each match he is able to make.



So why is it such a struggle to find two matching socks in his sock drawer every morning?

Well, it's because when it comes to the socks, it's not a game, that's all!

Oh, I LOVE that game. In fact, recently I saw an ad in a magazine with a little mini-game like that ... you punch out the little squares and play it just like when you were little.

You know, that's the one thing I miss now that Ryan's grown up ... all the fun games and toys. I've kept a few (Battleship, etc.), but it's just not the same :-(

... on the other hand, I don't have to worry about whether he's wearing matching socks anymore (... or any socks at all). Hah!

...it's because socks are one of those cosmic games designed to remind us that for all of our mastery of our universe, we are never really in charge. (give it up to the universe grasshopper!) ;)
