Spent the last 5 days on the road visiting family - and was thankful for the chance to do so. Also thankful for the chance to carve out some dedicated time with books I’ve been intending to read and was able to finish these two. Both were exceptional!!

After my replay of Skyrim - fell in love with it all over again - I moved on to Tainted Grail, Fall of Avalon. Have to say I am REALLY loving the game. I’ll get to Expedition 33 eventually but this was the right choice for me. Great combat, crafting, storyline, art - highly recommend.

So…I’ve been a PC gamer my entire life - never thought that would change. My wonderful wife rocks my world and gives me a PS5 Pro for my BDay and I am LOVING it! Guess you can teach an old dog new tricks. Don’t think I’ll ever go back.

Wow - Pacers up by 2 and heading home - gotta love this team.

It was National Geographic day at our little lake yesterday.

Just finished watching the 2 final episodes of The Residence - finally got around to watching - can say without hesitation that this was possibly THE BEST TV we’re seen in. LOOOONG time!!

IMO - 4 really good pieces of content worth looking at in the last few days: Pritzker’s speech and interviews in NH, the NYT article by Luerer, Glueck and Epstein titled “The Fight Against Trump Isn’t A Movement But It’s Gaining Momentum”, (1/2)

On a lighter note - I am truly enjoying Oblivion Remastered. Skyrim is one of my all-time favorite games and it was also my 1st TES experience. It’s so good to step back a little in time and experience this kind of fun again.

Really good overview here - this all g with Rob Flaherty’s Op Ed in today’s NYT outline the scope of the challenge we’re facing to get to a better place politically, economically and socially - many years of hard work ahead.

Big decision coming - in the middle of a 2nd BG3 play-through but already thinking about the next game. Have to decide between Oblivion Remastered (never played the original) and Clair Obscur. I’ll be playing one or the other until The Tainted Grail drops.
