The Battle of the Sexes

Last night we had a battle of the sexes. We are visiting Kent and Lisa and after Kent prepared a lovely dinner for Dennis and Denise and Cindy and I, we took out their new 2008 edition of Trivial Pursuit. This new game has all new questions and some of them are very tough. The old version was much more logic based, this one seems to throw off the wall, weird questions with no real basis to derive the answers.

Anyway, we set up the game and played men against women. And we commenced pushing our pieces around the board and working hard as two teams of three to find the answers. We used to love this game back in the '80s, it was fun to bring it back to life with all of these new questions.

This is a great game if you want to feel smart and know who invented the wheelchair that goes up stairs (Dean Kamen, of Segue Scooter fame), or which midwestern city has a museum of dentistry (St. Louis), or what food is made from animal collagen (gelatin).

One of my favorite things is a visit with old friends and a fun game with a little competition. My second favorite thing is getting a stack of books from these voracious readers, that I'll enjoy and blog about for months to come!
