When I was in elementary school, once every few months my class would form a single line and we'd all be marched down to the computer lab. I don't remember there being a lot of options for what we could do, but I do remember we played "Oregon Trail" a lot. The object was to successfully travel from Missouri to Oregon while managing food supplies, clothing supplies, money, and health. Your mode of transportation was an ox-pulled wagon (the game takes place in the 19th century), so you also had to account for wagon repairs and associated supplies, such as spare wheels, tongues, and oxen. I loved that game. I was also extremely lousy at it.

The other day I was perusing the various applications on Facebook and came across an Oregon Trail app and after dancing around and clapping my hands with glee I signed up. I've been addicted ever since. I have four other members in my party, Dave, Megan, Phoebe, and Mel. So far only Dave has died. Of cholera. After breaking his elbow. He's so delicate.

I'm really enjoying being eleven again.
