It’s now March and the Cult of the New to Me is getting restless. We’re now close to a year since lockdowns and social distancing became a thing rather than some abstract concept. This past weekend, a year ago, I was coming home from… Continue Reading “New to Me – February 2021”
Who can resist a TV show (or game!) that has bloody arena combat between two (or more) fierce gladiators, where death may come quickly or it may come slowly in quick, debilitating cuts here and there that leave your gladiator struggling to survive?

(Edit – 3/30/21 – And it’s now on Kickstarter! No wonder people are coming to this post.) Double post day! Just received this in my email and thought I’d post something on the same day instead of a day later. What’s the news?
