🧙♀️ Salem – Solo Birthday Trip Day 1
Thursday August 15th, 2024 (Birthday) Up super early in the morning to catch a flight to Boston. We poked around about whether it would be better to take Amtrak or a plane and the plane won. It seems that if we had picked middle of the week dates that Amtrak would have been the pick,… Continue reading

🤖 Postcards, Wake Up Bots & A Dead Stuffed Toy
Monday July 22nd, 2024 Woo hoo! I finally caught up on the blog last night. I always meant for this to be a “Write about your day.” kind of thing, but life is hard. Moving is hard. Selling you car is hard. But we’re moved, the car is sold and we’re back in business, baby!… Continue reading

📜 Indie TTRPG Review – BreakFree, Little Rituals, Welcome to Middletown
Wednesday July 24th, 2024 I recently purchased a pen & paper RPG bundle on itch.io and I’ve always kind of glossed over small RPGs & solo RPGs. I’ve been trying to learn more about solo RPGs and how oracles work and now I’m going to combine them so that I can sample some of these… Continue reading

🧚♀️ South Mountain Fairy Trail
Saturday June 22nd, 2024 Part of moving to New York City has been selling our car. We have it parked at a friend’s house in New Jersey as the parking here in Queens is difficult and/or expensive. We ended up going through Carvana, but on this day we made the two hour trek to New… Continue reading

🏝️ Governors Island National Monument Done Wrong
June 15, 2024 First we need to talk about this postcard. Beautiful artwork, but clearly created by someone who doesn’t send postcards.
