2023 Week 10/11/12/13: Status and Photos

The little free time I've had on weeknights last month was largely taken up by reading. I was a huge fan of Star Wars growing up, but I didn't delve into the Extended Universe (now Legends) very much. Just this afternoon I completed the last book of the "Black Fleet Crisis" trilogy by Michael P. Kube-McDowell. The series was highly entertaining, but I'm ready to switch back to pure fantasy for a while. Next on my list is "Well of Ascension" by Brandon Sanderson.

At the moment I have few real-life updates to share. More should be coming soon.

A gaming convention occurred this weekend. I quickly ignored the comically-overpriced vintage consoles and used Pokemon cards to visit the game room. A local rhythm game buff brought a Sound Voltex arcade cabinet to the convention, but he decided to run a very different game on the hardware.

Content Warning

We needed to pack like madmen to get our house ready to list for sale. At the end of each evening, all we wanted to do was watch a show together and let our exhausted muscles rest. We were amused to find that Netflix had incorrectly tagged the G-rated "Great British Baking Show" with content warnings for gore, off-color language, and violence.

My wife runs a table RPG session for me and some of our friends. While picking up game supplies at a local board game shop, we discovered a small Star Wars AT-ST painted model in one of the display cabinets. For some reason, I don't think Vader or Palpatine would have allowed a walker in the field with this paint scheme.

A farm-themed park in the Kansas City area opened for the season on Saturday. High winds kept many locals away, allowing us an unexpected amount of freedom to roam the park. One of the many attractions was a pen full of baby goats--and we were allowed to buy bottles with which to feed them.
