All this to say, as a PSA/Dido cover, that it's not so bad! I wouldn't go do it every week, but it's important to get checked. I don't have to go again for... five more years. Better than one I guess. Don't wait too long, y'all!

Got suited up for cleaning pool, thunder. Cleaned part of it and got out to hose off the filter and it's pouring. I know as soon as I give up and change it's going to stop and be good for the rest of the day though

I *finally* read @katebeaton.bsky.social 's Ducks. The mix of reality and levity, of a two-year span told one gag-per-page at a time, was exactly my pace. Lots to chew on, a great story worth telling.

Old dog, new tricks, etc. (I soldered in a new battery for my Pokemon Gold cartridge. Now my son can save his game instead of restarting every time!)

Proud Dad and kid gaming moment, a 🧵 My big two, M & K, played Kingdom of Avel with me the other night. It's TTRPG adjacent, as you make a character with name, features, equipment and stats. The quest is always the same: defeat the Big Bad before they get to and destroy the castle on the other side

Box art for Kingdom of Avel, a board game published by Rebel Studios. The art depicts several small heroes squaring off against various fantasy monsters in a plain as a castle sits in the background.

Last minute sign for church photo op. Got done tracing before realizing that, due to limited marker choice, I wound up using VGA colors. "Happy Mother's Day! You see a CHALKBOARD. Exits are NORTH, SOUTH, and DENNIS. What wouldst thou deau? > "

But as they walk out of the first day of it, their minds are churning and they are discussing strategy. They're bought in. So when the game is done, we put the board away and the next week we start by making characters in a Mack Sexton TTRPG, Knights of the Kitchen Table.
