OK-I'll add to this - it is so interesting to read about everyone!

I'm a retired elementary music teacher in San Antonio, Texas (that's 3 of us in Texas so far!). I am currently teaching music part-time at a private day care, have piano students and direct two children's choirs and a children's bell choir. I am also the organist/choir director at a small Anglican church. Those are the paying gigs. I also play in two bell choirs, sing in a community chorus and in the opera chorus, monitor boards and host chats on a cat care forum, maintain several websites and play VV every chance I get. My housework and exercise have really gone down the tubes since I've discovered VV. It's the ultimate game for a school teacher - we are control freaks. "Get back over there and do your work!" I call them "my little peeps in a box". I am proud that I have only killed off one village - I've got the game going on two computers - five players each. I tend to restart the game after a week or so of solving the puzzles and just letting them run.

I can't wait for the VV2!
