Nintendo sent me a bouquet of flowers this morning with an empty case for Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky attached. But where was the game? And there’s something in EVERY balloon.

To: Ash From: Crecente Re: No School Because of Typhoon (Typhoon Day?) You’re getting typhoons and we’re getting snow. That’s right it snowed today, which is a tad early for Denver in my experience.
