I crossed an item off my bucket list yesterday and learned how to surf!
Thanks to my lovely wife @erininthemorning.com for the photos, and for planning out our family's awesome 2 week camper van trip!

It's so good. And with the new slayer master (Mortimer), you have a higher likelihood of getting good tasks :)
I'm a gamer 🥰
Sailing was my last 90, but it's also probably my favorite skill besides Slayer. The devs really knocked it out of the park, imo. So many varied ways to train it, and the boat racing time trials are probably top 5 content for me in the game. Agility was the worst 90, lol
Untrimmed Slayer, even 🥰
In exciting gaming news (for me), I just hit base 90s in OldSchool RuneScape, and am only 100 total levels away from maxing my account! I may be a kickass politician, but I'm also pretty good at my medieval point-and-click MMO. 😤
I can confirm that most of the normally pleasant and gentle older people in my life have been ready to put enemy villages to the sword and the torch for the last year
Really feeling the Yamamoto quote about "awakening a sleeping giant" lately. We are through the shock and fear phase and are now deep into the "every grandma and gentle parenting dad is vibrating with bloodthirst for revenge at levels I did not realize were possible"
The tokens remain once activated, and can be activated multiple times to rotate a room 90°, 180°, 270°, or 360°. The multiple rotations allowed them to get some more unique orientations, and also let them undo an action if they realized they made a mistake.
RULES - Players start at the 🔴 in Room 1 - Goal is to get to the 🟢 in Room 4. - The numbered tokens can be activated to rotate the listed room by 90° - If two tokens are in the same chamber (2/3 in Room 3; 1/4 in Room 2), both Rooms are rotated - Black/yellow tape means "no entry" from that side
I built this rotating room puzzle for my family D&D game (my wife & our 11 y/o, plus another family w/ an 11 y/o) I was nervous to run this puzzle for a young/newer group, but it went SO WELL! Took 15 minutes to solve, and they all SCREAMED in joy when they finished it. Rules for the puzzle below:
My wife took it so I'm not 100% sure, but I believe I remember her saying it was a 6 second exposure
I'm a birder now too, apparently 😅 What started simply as a way to encourage Erin to use her camera has somehow turned into an incredible hobby.
Honestly, it felt surprisingly natural. I don't know if it's the years of snowboarding (or athletics generally), but it felt like something I was always meant to do. I fell in love instantly.
Seriously! It has to be one of my favorite athletic activities ever. Already trying to figure out when I can go again.

One of the amazing parts of this road trip is that I've been able to practice my stargazing. I can now confidentally identify Ursa Major, Draco, Ursa Minor, Cygnus, Lyra, and Aquilla, as well as the major stars of those constellations. I'm loving how much it's enhanced my enjoyment of the stars.
It took us 8.5 hours, but that includes many breaks for photography, for birding, and for lunch.
Erin and I (along with our 10 year old) just did a 20+ mile hike through the redwood forest and oh my goodness that might be my favorite forest hike of all time. Also, 20+ miles is no joke, especially when you're the group pack mule 😅
The Democratic Party’s mega-donor class is horrified by the rising tide of progressive populism. Too bad. It's time they recognize the real choice is between democracy and tyranny, between an economy that works for all or one that works for a small sliver at the top.
Just one of my many talents 😇
I mean, I went to high school and college out in Seattle, so I am a PNW girl 🥰
