Whistler!
I went to Whistler for Thanksgiving. I'm not going to go into too much detail about that, but will instead post this video documenting our non-skiing adventures.
Needless to say, I had a grand old time. We took many pictures and videos. Maybe I'll post some of them later ( Read more... )

For Monopoly, we are going to do exactly that. Where we each buy in for $30 or some such which gives the money for the bank. Then we play like normal, and then you pocket the money you have left and divide up the money that is left in the bank (if there is any).
The rules that we have yet to spec out are things like what happens if the bank runs out of money? Is someone allowed to quit in the middle? What happens to their properties/money if they do? Is there free parking money? Auctioning properties? etc. It's all in the details.
The west is quite lovely. While we had a not so nice summer (with more rain than normal), we have been having a great fall. I think I read somewhere that this Nov set a record for least amount of precipitation, and if there was a stat that recorded how many days you could see mountains clearly, I'd bet this month was the most it's ever been for a November. It's been super.
How's east? What are you up to these days anyway?

Monopoly: I guess beyond etiquette and preference, the only logistical problems you have to work out are, "What happens if the bank runs out of money?" and, "What happens at the end?"
The bank in regular Monopoly has just over $15000 dollars in it. So with a $30 buy-in, as long as you have five people, you should be safe.
And I guess you could just use regular rules for end-of-the-game calculations. Full price for all unmortgaged properties, houses, and hotels. Half-price (I think) for mortgaged...
Yeah, actually, that's not as complicated as I thought it would be.
