Instawho?

I had a near-death/staring into the abyss episode recently and swore that if I arrived unscathed on the other end I'd remedy the fact that these superb photos were languishing on my iphone. The dates of these are all over the place.

I hate doing tourist stuff or really just doing anything. My sister is not of the same persuasion. Things came to a head in Ireland on the grounds of a site featured in that Count of Monte Cristo movie from a few years ago.

I think this sprawl of Queen Anne's Lace should have a one episode arc in season three. Yes, that would be pretty acute, but Fellows has it in him.

Yes, being the proud new owner of my first Baracuta G9 Harrington I do wear it to bed as well.

Before I went home to visit my parents I came across a Merton documentary on Netflix. After supper one night I naively asked my father if he had ever heard of the man.

I hope you find this humble collection as soothing to gaze on as I do. The pieces to the top five games below are crammed in back of these. Sacrifices had to be made, and empty boxes along with the always reliable Qwirkle and Harry's Grand Slam Baseball were left in the heartland. Long Shot has not been played so it's prominence may be grossly unmerited.


This is Belnhiem Palace. It's really big. I went there and took a photo of it with my phone void of any loved ones. It belonged to Winston Churchill. The Battle of Blenhiem has a really interesting wikipedia entry.


Sometimes this city gives you organic homemade ketchup and a room temperature beer, and you understand why they lost the empire; and other times they casually throw something great like the above at you.

Is that Randall Jarall in my pocket or am I just trying to blend in with the neighborhood. I figured this was as good as it's going to get so I better document it in two mirrors.

 San Diego wowing me by just doing what it does.

 Right, right it wasn't supply and demand. It was the country that completely funded our revolution.

Needless to say, I was not winning this game of Cities & Knights. Call me crazy, but if you are a boardgamer and haven't tried this expansion you are doing yourself a disservice.

 Mmmm. Titles actually read available upon request.

This S-10 must have really loved America.

 That was a good night, rankings available upon request.


This was an enjoyable 4 Hour Body-ish lunch. That English mustard is really super, unfortunately it, like sriracha, has sugar as an ingredient, but it's wasabi punch has me dipping straight out of the jar. It's become an important part of my life.
