As those who know and love me often remark, “that Vasco loves the sun.” It’s true, which is why I am spending the next several months on my yacht “El Guanaco” here in lovely San Marco, where the waves lick your toes like puppies and the soft breeze is like the breath of your lover. Ah, San Marco, where first I played Centipede–in my mind Ed Logg’s finest creation. But today I am absorbed with a new social game entitled, “Pen Island Friends”–just go to www.penislandfriends.com to find out more about this game, in which a band of four players chosen randomly from logged-in registrants must solve the mystery of what’s killing the clowns in the giant amusement park of Pen Island. It is a delight, and quite scary, so be sure to surround yourself with caring friends or lovers or come to San Marco, where every day is paradiso!
