I will have to get the autograph book out of storage. I remember winning Zork I as a kid but it was a team effort. Don’t think we cracked II and III.

My wife just informed me that when she orders food for pick up, she uses a fake name - not because she’s worried about identity theft, she’s just trying out new names. 🀣

Stop looking on Amazon. You don’t need anything else. You’re good. That sofa pillow with the zen saying wont bring you peace You have everything you need. Go stand in the woods. Just listen. Breathe. Repeat.

(Btw - I learned this from Fight Club. I just replaced fighting with trees.)
