[homage] SET
Eileen came over today and gifted me with a deck of SET cards. I have wondered how I managed to not played a game of SET (nor Pinnacle, nor Magic-The-Gathering) through college. But now I've earned one more point on the nerd test, and added one more candidate that can be modified into a good drinking game. Excellent.
