Be cool to each other today. Practice patience.

130-something days until Autumn.

I am pleasantly surprised at the variety and depth of gameplay with Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. It’s a strange juxtaposition to my other current game, Robocop: Rogue City.

Between #likeadragon infinite wealth and #dragonage veilguard, I have found myself with two pretty engaging storylines. I don’t read much fiction (usually it’s nonfiction), so these are fantastic breaks from reality.

Preferred method of preparing/cooking your #thanksgiving turkey - go! (Personally, I dig dry-brining.)

#tullibardine for the evening libation. Tiny puppy snoring next to me on the couch. Quite the win.

Enjoying it a great deal myself, to the point where I’m actively fulfilling side quests out of curiosity, not necessity.

Part of me felt honored to start receiving AARP mailers until I was told that you could join at 18 if you want. Fortunately I have other achievements to relish.

Nobody believes me when I tell them that Yankee Candle legit made a beer-scented candle years ago. It made the house smell like a frat basement circa 1992.

My video gaming has been monopolized by SW:Outlaws, New World Aeturnum and Veilguard. And STALKER is almost here. I haven’t had this kind of console traffic jam in ages.

Made salt-dough dog ornaments for a charity tree event happening later this month in town. Kept asking Alexa to “play Christmas classical music” and it would give me a playlist of Frank Sinatra. Still made for a productive afternoon.

30 degrees out, and I’ve got a full pallet of pellets moved to the basement for this winter. BRING ON THE SNOW! #mountwashingtonvalley

#glenfarclas for the evening. One of the tastier drams I’ve encountered. #scotchwhisky

SSX 3. I’d argue it’s the best of the franchise.
