Tis the night .....
Tis the night before christmas, and a quiet stretches across the land, all the good children have gone to bed. [>:] not a breath can be heard, but at the north pole santa and all his helpers are busily rushing too and thro. The excitment is building and as the last packages are placed the sleigh. And when the sun rises (about noon eastern yankie land time) all the children will spring out of bed to see what santa has left under their digital download tree.

I am looking forward to COG as well. But for me, a year ago Witp was the one I was so antsy over. [:D]

I'd suggest not doing that until you know for sure it will be ready by then. Nothing more frustrating than not being able to get something when you thought it would be available! [8D]

I don't break for lunch until 1pm EDT. I will be checking the boards noon time to see if the game is available (besides, my place of residence is just around the corner from work). [:D]

Sounds great!
The only thing you're missing out on is high speed internet, otherwise, sounds like a great place to live. [:)]
