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”

It’s a brand new year and hopefully it will be better than last year. Though last year wasn’t too bad, compared to the two before. It’s January (or February, but we’re talking about January) and that means a new beginning where we’re not sure… Continue Reading “New to Me – January 2023”
