Hurricane Go-Away-Fay

What do you do when you've been looking so forward to your annual family beach trip, where you had big dreams of planting yourself beside the pool and/or beach with a good book (or multiple People Magazines you needed to catch up on) and never moving... but then... a hurricane comes and lands very south of you, and your beach manages to catch the outer bands of heavy rains and heavy winds for half of your trip?

I'll tell you. You play multiple games of Nertz with your sisters (and a few times your brother decides to join and despite the fact that he's 36 years old and the father of 2 children, he insists on cheating), you go to Boulevard Diner and the SC Aquarium with your nieces, sister, brother-in-law and dad, you obsessively check Facebook (not that that's very far out of the ordinary) and Drudge Report (VP picks time) and you take multiple walks. In the wind and rain. (We were desperate to get out of the house...)

I've taken somewhere around (ballpark guess here) maybe one million pictures with no way to upload any until tomorrow, so until then, use your imagination of how happy and tan my face is. And how much better I am at Nertz now (even though I thought that wasn't possible...)

Hi, I found your blog post through a search for “Nertz”. It is cool to see others that know about the game. I hope you don’t mind but I wanted to let you know about playnertz.com, the site for the National Nertz Association. There is a bunch of interesting Nertz information there and you can also find out how to play Nertz online there. I hope you will check it out. Feel free to join and also let your friends and family know. Thanks
