Monopoly!
Dinner at McDonald's last night brought back some memories.
In case you've missed the commercials, they have brought back their Monopoly promotion. Whenever McDonald's does this, I can't help but think of my elementary school years. As there was a McDonald's near my house, there was one yard on the way to school where we would stop and look for game pieces that had been thrown out of cars. We never won anything more than a free hash brown or something like that, but it was a lot of fun for an 8-year-old!
Katrina and I are older now, but we're still suckers for a (miniscule) chance to win up to $5 million. And now there's twice the temptation with the ability to play online with each game piece you get at the restaurant. Don't look now, but we're just one railroad away from $25,000 in the online game!
Does anyone else actually collect those little pieces? And do you remember the Scrabble game they did once or twice back in the 80s?

I used to deliver papers for the local free paper, and for some reason they insisted on giving us an extra 25 paper bundle. I always looked forward to Monopoly because we'd have a gameboard with two playing pieces in each extra paper. I think we won a hat once (in addition to the usuall free food).
