though there's something about Finspan that feels like a refining of that overall mechanic. It's worth the time, especially if you found the others in the series enjoyable.

Tried Finspan this weekend and was genuinely surprised. I expected more of the same from the Wingspan/Wyrmspan line, but it’s impressively streamlined and stands on its own. Smooth, clever, and fun. Definitely worth checking out. #whatdidyouplaymondays #boardgames

I’m grateful to have a place like Lost in Fun here in Lincoln! On rainy days like this, having a clean, climate-controlled space where little ones can run, jump, and play is an absolute lifesaver.

Lately, we’ve been making a point to step outside our usual spots, and that led us to El Cielito Lindo Mexican Restaurant. Tucked away at 100 N 1st St, this unassuming gem serves up a fantastic variety of Mexican classics—tacos, enchiladas, burritos, and more.

The chickens and I enjoyed the warm weather and did a little spring cleaning of the coop before the blizzard hit. This is one, giving a squawk of approval once the work had been finished.
