Monopoly, Caffeine, Adoption

November 19, 2022, also International Men's Day

In the 1990s, my friend Tom and I used to play games of Speed Monopoly, meaning we played the game of Monopoly as fast as we could. One afternoon in my dad's living room, we played FIVE games in three-and-a-half hours. I lost all five games.

I also have a French version of the Monopoly game (using French Francs) that I purchased in Paris, when I was taking two university courses in Massy, France: "French Conversation and Composition I and II" (six credits in three weeks). That was in 1984, when I was 23 years old. I graduated from Villanova University in December 1984 with a bachelor's degree in communications with a minor in the French language. (I took 18 credits/six courses of French.)
