September 2023 Gaming

As 2023 steamrolls ahead, another month of gaming is complete! September actually was a slight step back from August, even though I didn’t miss any game days! However, there were fewer days at work where we had lunch free to play. In addition to… Continue Reading “September 2023 Gaming”

August 2023 Gaming

It’s hard to believe August is over and we’re in September now! August was primed to be a big gaming month but it kind of sputtered with me getting sick. Missing a Sunday probably took 2-3 games (or at least plays) away from my… Continue Reading “August 2023 Gaming”

July 2023 Gaming

July was an interesting month for gaming, mainly because I had no idea what kind of gaming I would get in. I was off the entire month of July, so there wouldn’t be any lunch time work games. However, there were no Sunday holidays… Continue Reading “July 2023 Gaming”

June 2023 Gaming

With Father’s Day coming in June (here’s a link to the Father’s Day post I made in 2019, the first Father’s Day after my dad passed away), meaning that another Sunday Game Day was cancelled (or moved, but I chose to skip it), I… Continue Reading “June 2023 Gaming”

May 2023 Gaming

It’s been another slower month of gaming this last May, again because one of our Sundays was cancelled (this month due to Mother’s Day…stupid moms!) This month, I had the same number of plays (19) as April but only 11 games instead of 13.… Continue Reading “May 2023 Gaming”

Friday Night Shots – What’s Your Go-To Game When You’re Down?

It’s Friday night! You know what time it is, then. Pull up a stool and listen to the music for a bit. Given my post last week about games and my mental health, I was just curious what your thoughts were on this topic.… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – What’s Your Go-To Game When You’re Down?”

Friday Night Shots – Let’s Talk Music

Hi, there! C’mon in and have a seat at the bar. I’ll pour you the drink of your choice (something non-alcoholic for Brian). Some Canadian Club and Diet Pepsi for me (on my second one now). What’s that? Yes, that is Casey Kasem’s American… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Let’s Talk Music”

Games and My Mental Health

On my lunch break yesterday, I happened upon the latest Table Talk episode by Rodney Smith and the rest of the Watch it Played gang. This was posted 11 days ago. The video was asking the question “Are Board Games Good For Your Mental… Continue Reading “Games and My Mental Health”

April 2023 Gaming

After a robust March of gaming, April took a bit of a downturn. The lack of a convention along with missing a Sunday game day and being off for a week so there were no lunch time games that week, all of that combined… Continue Reading “April 2023 Gaming”

March 2023 Gaming

March was definitely a great month of gaming. I managed to play 21 games (32 plays) in 31 days! And 15 days worth of gaming is always good. Fifteen out of thirty-one? Woo! Many thanks to Boardgame Stats for the wonderful app that lets… Continue Reading “March 2023 Gaming”
