My wife’s elder cousin, who I taught to play Magic a decade ago in his 60s, just showed me the first deck he built that includes Rhystic Study, and I’m just so proud. Fly little bird. #wotcstaff

Mom has been in memory care for a few days and this is her life now.

Going to move Mom into dedicated memory care this morning. She’s going to hate it and be confused, but I know it’s a good place and she needs it. I hope someday she forgives me.

Worked last week on moving Mom into assisted living and they told me her memory care was going to be too much for them. So I went back to square one looking for those options. It’s all sad. To top it off, my wife’s car froze in the driveway over night.

S: I don’t have a poop! Me: You don’t have a poop? Do you have to go potty? S: [Visibly and audibly straining] No. Me: OK, let me know for next time. J: S, your face is turning red! Pretty normal snack-time discussion. You can keep your water coolers.

Putting together a trivia event for friends. What is a “reasonably well-known decklist”? Any format or era, but we’re all old and play Vintage.
