The holidays have come and gone, here's what they looked like.


Jes, Dani, and I had a pleasant time up north - family, food, wine, Pandemic Season 2, and a lap of Safari West.


In sunny SoCal there've been birthday parties, fingerpainting, and a few cozy nights by the fire. Today I stopped by Boneyard to take a couple of backlit shots of a surf lesson.



The board game crew played a couple of rounds of Return to Dark Tower. I was excited about the game since my parents had a copy of the original when I was young and I never actually played it. The base game is... meh. Introducing randomness via a large mechanized tower is cool enough but there's not much decisionmaking to be found; you just take the obvious action every turn. Mark says the expansions provide more game but, well, Santa brought me Ticket to Ride Legacy and Arkham Horror TCG.
