Trading Games: Communication is the key to good trades. I respond quickly to all email. My only neutral is due to a user giving me feedback before bothering to let me know that I forgot to post my positive feedback to him! It was a math trade so I wasn't even sending him a game! Go figure.

I am an active trader, but lately I have fewer items on my want list. Handy hint: If you want to trade me something new for something I have for trade, consider getting it from www.timewellspent.org. It is the least expensive place around, and I can pick it up at the warehouse for no shipping cost!

Family Gift Giving: Items I am interested appear on my Wishlist. You can order from www.timewellspent.org and pay no shipping. They are local, so just mark warehouse pickup and put "Pick up at Tuesday games" in the text box. Note that many of the items on my wishlist are not in print yet, so you may need to check a bunch of them.

About my Avatar Winkles: My avatar has been named Winkles. The idea is that all you see is a green background, and you are told to try to find the giraffe in the background. Just about the time you start to see something in the fuzzy green background, the giraffe pops up and raises his eyebrow, as it was not apparent until then that it is an animated gif! Winkles is a mascot for BGG to represent people who want to keep BGG a positive place to interact on games. If you want to help, ask for a Winkles microbadge, and help by keeping a positive attitude here on the geek! A few Winkles Facts:
* Winkles is running for President!
* According to that GL, Winkles was born in a log cabin in the National Zoo of Washington DC, on the Fourth of July, 1970.
* At BGG.CON, Winkles is represented in minneature by Yoga giraffe:
