Day off and some time to kill.

The original TWA terminal is the lobby/museum and rooms are in towers adjacent. The whole place has a fun 60s vibe. I studied it in architecture school so seeing it and the drawings there was a treat

Gonna be some work but so may opportunities

We played the new family version of the Crew. To us it was ridiculously simple. On the other hand I would never consider bringing the crew to my lunch gaming group, but this version might work for them.

Thanks. Don't recognize it.

All of these except I don't know what Cricket was.

10-15 minutes.

Yep. Classic diner feel. Good food.

Eating BBQ looking forward my annual trip to G2S. BBQ w Eric. I want to go back to that bacon place w Chip and Meeple lady. Oh and that prime rib place we discovered last year. We always go out for breakfast once at Maryanne's since is always better than the hotel.

I may also play a few games.

We played Coconuts with balls of cheese instead of rubber coconuts so when a ball went rogue and our dog ate it, no problem. Not sure how much cheese you would need for giant Kerplunk but I'm sure Costco has it.

We need to hang out. I know most of those.

Kitchcon.

Appears to be a Coopers Hawk on our back porch.

When ours switched to door dash for delivery - getting cold pizza adds another layer of suck.

I will. I didn't get a chance to meet you last year.

I had some Ethiopian Y. in a French press.

I picked up a new batch of ? at a prize table. Nicole was there and we were reminiscing about the coffee exchanges.

We fixed our bird cam and put out a bunch of food. It has been very popular in these cold temps.

Tell me more about the coffee

I'm not excited about it.

It was our pick for the weekend for the same reasons.

I ate good french food, Italian food, and played some cribbage. Not sure what trick takers I played.

Card games Three Witches and Worst in Show.

TJ day 2 - Con that leans heavily into trick taking. Always a good time.

I'm working on convincing Daniel to reprint Worst in Show as a game about sausages... Wurst in Show.

@kellenfreeman.bsky.social @scooterb23.bsky.social I was thinking of suggesting we move Kitsch to a community room or a space in a library. LMK if you have any suggestions. A small conference room in a hotel may work too.

I figured she'd see it.

Sign at pie store saying 'yippie pie yea! '

NASA is gonna build nuclear reactors on the moon! Don't people remember what happened to the at moon base alpha in 1999? Those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it.

We watched it last night. Overall I enjoyed it. I didn't expect to cry in a 'knives out' movie.

My old coworker's last name was An - he'd say like Anderson but the design is silent.

The other day a guy on the phone used Patrick as P. spelling something out and I was totally confused. 🤪

We played an oldie at my office holiday party. It went over pretty well.
