How sweet mornings with my grandparents shaped my love for comfort food and connection. I have fond memories of eating donuts. That might sound like a silly statement, and I’m sure others haven’t put as much stock into the times they’ve snacked on sweet treats. But I’ve…
A 1000 Islands Mini-moon
A wonderful wedding getaway. There was a big question in the air about what we’d do the weekend after our wedding. We had the kids set with their own plans, but Jocelyn and I waited until the last minute to decide where we were going. It was Labor Day weekend, so prices…
Capybara Crush Board Game Review: Smiles, Strategy, and Snuggly Packaging
Capybaras Get Their Heads in the Game Capybaras have been living rent-free in our heads lately. The zeitgeist is strong—you see them in games, posters, and funny videos. I’ve never been the type to hold strong opinions about…
Joy of a Simple Wedding
Our Wedding With Simple Love My partner and I are easily entertained. Over the past few years together, we’ve learned that the simple things make us happiest. Since we’ve both been married before—and we each have kids—we knew we didn’t need a grand production this time…
Reframing the Game
Do you see wetlands, a building or more? There are so many tropes about how we see the world. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The grass is always greener. Is your glass half empty or half full? I usually land on the half-full side. I like to be positive and look for the…
I’m Kind of a Big Dill Game Review
I’m not Gherkin your chain. Have you ever embellished something? Was the fish longer in your story than it was in real life? Does your dating profile talk a bit more about your passion for reading than may be true? Is your age dependent on the day? This may be…
Oram’s Donut Shop Pittsburgh Review
A box of delicious tradition. Is Beaver Falls part of Pittsburgh? When I gave the call out to get an idea of where to go in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania this was easily the top commented place to go. I’m not as familiar with the area as I would like to be so I do…
Is Glazed the Universal Donut?
Read and Tell Me The Joke While traveling last week, a friend brought up that they judge donut shops based on a glazed donut . They get that variety of donut wherever they go, and use that as their baseline looking at places. It is not my methodology, but it does…
Rebel Princess Game Review
Princesses with Power My experience with Rebel Princess goes right along with my experience with princesses. I find myself dazzled a bit every time I get a chance to see them, but you can’t marry someone you just met. This game is quite different because I’m happy to get…
2025 Gen Con Recap
The Best 4 Days in Gaming I spent the past week at Gen Con in Indianapolis, my fourth time at the convention. This is my first trip to mix a bit of business with family as I brought my two children along for the ride. This was their first convention ever, and I thought if we…
Gaming and Friendship
David Hoppe President of Gen Con’s As much as I wanna write about Gen Con and the amazing parts of this convention that are exhausting me to no end in the best ways, tonight I’m reflecting on how much games have meant to me building friendships. I for years was the kid who…
Pre Exhaustion
We have a big week next week. A lot of my year culminates in going to Gen Con, and participating like a madman there. I get to see friends, meet with companies and designers and this year I get to take my kids for the first time. I’ve known about this for a year and I’ve had all…
Rating Logic – Game Edition
Avoiding a “Catastrophe” Being in the space of reviewing and rating means that you have to have a system. There’s no basis of comparison without actually saying that you’re comparing things on a scale that makes sense. In the video format that is not easy. There is no…
Everywhere, All at Once, All of the Time
Once Finger Lakes Today a friend told me “ how do you do it? It seems like a different city every time I talk to you.” In some ways this sounds like praise but in my mind it is a moment to take a break and really evaluate what the hell I’m doing. When that…
Otter by Charming Games Collective Game Review
Otter by Charming Games Collective This game came across our feed with Capybara Crush. We were immediately intrigued by the cuteness of the art and how it just seemed like something cozy. They were nice enough to send us a review copy and upon getting…
I Know How To Train My Dragon
There is a tidal wave out there. From the depths of classical cartoon nostalgia comes a tsunami of live action remakes. From The Lion King to Little Mermaid you see cartoons of your past come to life. I say that tongue in cheeks since most of it is digital art…
Offshoots: Game Review
A Tree of Balance I first encountered Offshoots walking around Origins Game Fair during the GAMA media event. There were many tables, but I found myself looking across them at what appeared to be a pretty tree built up. I was immediately drawn from far away and that pulled…
Live Your Summer
Sunset When I look at the calendar, everything tells me that we are in the summer. We’ve hit the summer solstice, and if you look outward, the weather has gotten nicer. Beyond that the heat waves or a clear sign that boy it is the warm time with the sun. But many days I don’t feel…
What Makes A Good Donut?
The Donut Pub NYC I have come across so many different types of donuts in my time I get the question often “What is a good donut ?”. From those who are getting gourmet delights to those who are grabbing a bag from the county fair, everyone has a perspective on what makes a…
Everyone Needs an Origins Type Convention
Origins game fair created some really great memories for me as a first time convention attendee. I was very stressed about the idea of only attending one full day of the convention and if I would get the real feeling out of being there. I quickly found…
I feel bad because I keep forgetting about blue sky because of being so busy. I feel like I’m going to take this a lot more seriously now. Mainly by posting videos about donuts, but that’s as serious as I get.

This winter, I asked for us to have snow like we had closer to when I was a kid. NY has not disappointed me, though it may be annoying my neighbors. #snow
