Pikmin 1 was one of my dad's top games, and he was an expert at it. God knows how many times he played through it, but he could comfortably get all 30 ship parts in 9 days. I haven't played it since he died; tonight, I completed it for the first time in years. He'd be thrilled!

In the spirit of starting as I mean to go on, here is a picture of a cat. Scotty isn't mine, but he is very special to me and I love him. He is a heckin' good boy.
