Cascadia Digital on Steam is 25% off right now (just under $12 in US) as part of this sale. Available for both Windows and Mac OS. Available for iOS and Android phones/tablets on their stores as well, of course, and a bit cheaper :-). The daily challenges are pretty awesome.

Bugs on our parsley. We've decided to leave them be. I've named one Leon. He keeps getting larger.

I'm thinking it's a good 3-6 months before it is safe for me to eat another salad right? Pizza for dinner.

What is your favorite ice flavor. Blue is the only correct answer.

@wunfatkid.bsky.social I almost stepped into the elevator looking at my phone instead then I remembered what happened to Roslyn Shays.

Short stay in Vancouver on our way to Alaska. Trouble adjusting to the time changes as I get older. Still we had a great time at Stanley Park and the Aquarium.

Downloading movies for an upcoming cruise and short stay in the distant Vancouver. So far Airport 77, Towering Inferno, and The Poseidon Adventure. Maybe The Andromeda Strain or Contagen too.

Watching a video on the cruise ship we are going on soon and some weirdos are playing Catan. They said there were over 400 games on board. 400!!! Who would ever have 400.

Finally played my 10th anniversary copy of Ticket to Ride. I usually play yellow but the red circus train car girrafe heads are too much to pass up

Spaceship! Kudos to Lego for using 70s era rocket parts as filler parts in the new oversized minifig.

Call... Do you have the 1982 code book somewhere? Me - yes it is right here on my desk. Yes a 44 year old code book is still relevant.

G2S 2026 is in the books. 859 games played with 76 old friends and 37 new ones. 29 laugh out loud moments. 62 friends we said we were going to play a game but didn't - but that's OK if we just got to say hi, shake hands, or hug. Maybe next year! *Some stats may be made up.

Day one at @g2summit.bsky.social is in the books. I feel so happy with all the old friends I got to hang out with. Day 2 starts with catching up over breakfast. Maryanne's is calling my name.

Eating BBQ looking forward my annual trip to G2S. BBQ w Eric. I want to go back to that bacon place w Chip and Meeple lady. Oh and that prime rib place we discovered last year. We always go out for breakfast once at Maryanne's since is always better than the hotel. I may also play a few games.

We fixed our bird cam and put out a bunch of food. It has been very popular in these cold temps.

TJ day 2 - Con that leans heavily into trick taking. Always a good time. I'm working on convincing Daniel to reprint Worst in Show as a game about sausages... Wurst in Show.

@kellenfreeman.bsky.social @scooterb23.bsky.social I was thinking of suggesting we move Kitsch to a community room or a space in a library. LMK if you have any suggestions. A small conference room in a hotel may work too.
