hey pa, I'm back in New Haven

Jul 26, 2012 14:55

We got back to New Haven yesterday. I'll be writing about Montreal and Buffalo soon.

I guess all the driving from the past two weeks wasn't enough for me because today I got the itch to go to an estate sale. A photo had caught my eye in the ad and I ended up finding the item I wanted, an obscure board game from the 1960s. But I was so mad at the people running the estate sale, since they had laid out all the board games on an astroturfed balcony. Sure the balcony had a roof, but it was raining this morning and the water soaked through the entire astroturf, getting all the games damp and wet. After all those years being stored in a dry attic, the game had now been mistreated thanks to some thoughtless estate sale company. Anyway, I'm now the owner of a fairly decent, nearly complete copy of Hey Pa! There's a Goat on the Roof.

If anyone is interested in buying this before I put it on ebay, I'd be happy if it ended up with a friend...

games, shopping
