Broke from the move and there is food at home! So for this week’s long run to brunch I did an 18mi loop to my own kitchen for some homemade bagel breakfast sandwiches 🥯

Running to try more of what the Seattle breakfast scene has to offer. Today was The Whale Wins in Fremont and let’s just say I’ll be thinking about that donut for some time 😋

My design Bad Robots is a finalist for the @buttonshy.bsky.social 18-Card Challenge!!! ✨ This one was particular wild because it required us to make games using exactly only 9 of the 18 cards per play. So happy to see Bad Robots made the cut!! 🤖🍕

Today’s long run was for a vegetarian Breakky at📍Cafe Flora While this spot was stunning with a lovely atmosphere, it definitely felt a bit overhyped. Solid breakfast but lacked the flavor. Also my potatoes gave Dennys 🥲

Heated game of Caverna this afternoon ⛏️ Where does this one fall for you on the Uwe scale?? I need to play Agricola again, but I do think this is higher ranked for me, but lower than AFFO, or Nusfjord. #boardgames

Brain’s final domain in Caverna. She went hard on weapons.
