Baumblog EST 1968 - A blog for the Baumbachs who originated in Syracuse, NY

Sorry, I've been out of cool topics to discuss of late (hey, I know, let me bring up the controversy about the Golden Compass being atheist propanda, right?) so let's do the who's coming in to town when thingy...in the comments, of course.

Yes, I'll bring the train game again, unless you're all bored with it. Same deal for the Wii, but should I bother bringing Guitar Hero since we still only have one guitar? Let me know.

We're not sure precisely when we'll be up. My hockey game for Sunday may be cancelled, if so we may come out Sunday December 23. If not, we'll probably be out some time later on Monday the 24th. Not sure if we'll come out twice, or stay for one longer trip yet--likely depends on everyone else's plans.

I'll be home on the 21st and then home for two weeks. Definitely Ticket to Ride, GH3 depends on if you wanna bring it all. My roommate and I got GH3 for PS2, so I could prolly bring it back and we'll have enough controllers on the PS2.

Yeah, let's do that. I love having a wireless controller, but it's not the end of the world. I finally beat medium today, and tried hard just for kicks. Hahahah, I think I'll stick with medium for quite a while.

Word is, Activision will ship out new DVDs to fix the stereo issue, and downloadable content is coming for Wii in early 08.

I'll be heading home on Saturday the 22nd, returning to MI on the 1st of Jan. Really looking forward to seeing everyone!
Geoff said about 21 hours later

I should be home sometime the 22nd...then I have to return home briefly right before New Years for Michelles doctor appointment and to feed the lion. Side note, I HATE FireFox and their stupid Quickfind apostrophe problem which ALWAYS screws up when I want to type anything into the blog.

Can't say that I have that problem with my xp version of firefox. :)
Marc said 1 day later

I know what Geoff is talking about. I have the problem all the time on Windows. I couldn't speak for Mac as I use Safari, but I imagine it is plagued there too.
Geoff said 1 day later

This is on my XP version...I don't even use FireFox on Mac as it is plagued...Safari is much better (except for their stupid Flash on top of Flash bug). Darn browsers!

I'll be home on the 22nd as well, hopefully with a load of cookies in tow! I'm doing a marathon baking session this Sunday. I think that Drew will be coming up for a few days as well at some point, so you all will get to meet the boy. You better like him, cause I'm done looking dammit! No pressure. :)
GJ said 1 day later

If he can play Guitar Hero and Wii tennis, he's in. :)

Darcy is buying a few tons of butter today, so I expect we'll have a few cookies in tow, too.
GJ said 1 day later

OK, we'll be coming out either Sunday night or Monday morning, and likely leaving Thursday.

He has played a little Wii tennis, but he's a guitar hero novice. He can jam out a few metallica tunes on a *real* guitar though...
Eric said 2 days later

We'll be coming in on Friday the 28th after Christmas, around 2pm. We'll be staying in Syracuse until the 31st.
Steve said 3 days later

Oh no, Kristen you're leaving me to be the *only* single Baumbach now?!?!?! I guess I better get off my duff....
GJ said 3 days later

Real guitars are for wussies. :) Sorry, Marc! Not that I'm very good at GH3....only just now beat Lou at medium, and watching me play songs at the hard level is still pretty funny (but I can at least finish some of them).

Updated travel status--I couldn't get out of my Dec. 23 game, so we're leaving Monday morning, should be in around noon on Christmas Eve. We'll now stay into Friday, 12/28, but leave that afternoon so sleeping arrangements aren't too ornery. We might even get to see Eric & Gina, depending on when they arrive. Safe travels to everyone!!
