TRIVIA TODAY - Wednesday, November 13, 2013

Greetings Infomaniacs,

Growing up, I practically lived at my cousins' house. Our favorite thing to do was play games. I remember late nights playing Rummy, Monopoly, The Game of Life, or even a titillating round of Go Fish.

We would stand in the game closet and stare at the shelves for countless minutes before finally settling on a game, as if it was the biggest decision we ever had to make in life.

I wish that picking out a game was still the most important decision I had to make as a grown up! But it certainly makes for some great childhood memories!

Enjoy!
Melissa
