Settlers

My good friend and former roommate Jon came to Seattle as part of his world travels; his journey also took him to Costa Rica, Vietnam, China, and Japan. Jon and I share a lot of interests, and we can always find topics on which to converse endlessly. This time he introduced us to a board game called The Settlers of Catan; we played almost every night. Jon also left me with some excellent books; Snow Crash kept me company as I recovered from having all of my wisdom teeth out.
