This is the sewing machine store in the same shopping center as the Chili’s where Lin and Max and I had dinner the night before I went to the hospital.

And this is your reward for reading this far. Deborah has the Brain Age game for the DS, and one of the activities in it involves drawing a picture of a specified object or animal. After two users have drawn the same things, it shows both side-by-side, for hysterical comparison. Please use the comment form to enter a guess as to what animal the game told us to draw to get these results. My try is on the left, Deborah’s on the right.
