My Canon Kills Your Horse and Pistol Anyday

Sept.24 2006 - The last time we played Monopoly. We can never find time to finish a whole game, so we keep a running tally. When we opened up the game this evening Ken had: $2,688, 1 monopoly, 6 other properties and 3 hotels. Joy had 4 monopolies (including those dark blue ones, 3 hotels, 3 houses, and a get out of jail free card. Out of pity she decided to sell one property to Ken, giving him another monopoly. Now, as we start the new game she has learned a lesson - Never, Ever, Ever sell anything to Kenneth without loads of conditions. Even better never sell him anything. He ended up winning the game by over 5,000. Oh, and Joy decided that the dog piece she used tonight was too wussy, so she switched to the canon. Because, the canon can kill the horse and rider anyday. So, now we start again - with lessons learned. Hopefully this one won't take 3 years to finish.

Joy - did not know that you were such a slow learner. Also, the cannon is also the better piece. Have a good week, particularly visiting with the Monahan's.
