Years later and the Team Valor bias is as strong as ever.

Went to wife’s work’s holiday party last night and ended up looking best in the photo where I made a goofy face… makes you wonder what that means about my regular face.
Wife and I posing back to back—I’m doing the James Bond pose with my hands and closing one eye to raise the other eyebrow. She just looks normal (that is, stunning).

Codes in alt. Both need refinement. Warlock deck combines two Batmask lines and was built for Elise but then I didn’t like how she took up so many board slots.

Not much Lorcana on this site, but if anyone following here is interested, I got second at Set Champs with Blue-Green Oswald. Deck is great if you want to do the most degen stuff you can. Just dodge steel.

Many tears were shed today as we had to say goodbye to our baby, the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. This post is made in memory of Loki, a very good boy. Thank you for sharing your life with us. I’m sorry we couldn’t have more time together. You were loved and you won’t be forgotten.

He is asleep in such a contorted way that his head looks like it came off his body.Loki has turned his bed upside down and is sitting on top of it. We thought it was an accident so we turned it right-side up for him, but he flipped back over again.
