Texas Time (Patreon)

I’m back from Texas and happy to be home. The work retreat went about as well as could be expected and certain aspects of it were fun. There was a lot of card playing and a bunch of folks brought their Switches and docks. This led to a lot of Jackbox games, Wheel of Fortune, and Jeopardy. I spent a lot of time on my Playdate which is where I’ve been doing the majority of my gaming for the past month. I learned a bunch of new patience games, some more fun in concept than practice. All in all, we stayed well entertained. A bunch of folks spent the days on the water and jet skis, but personally that holds zero appeal. The catered food was miserable, but all of the food brought by fellow employees was great. Brownies, salads, caprese, homemade beef jerky, and more kept us all satiated when the professionals did not. The amount of booze available was mind boggling, but I kept my intake reasonable. If I go out again next year I’m asking to be put in charge of the main meals. The results will be far better and it will keep me further occupied.

My friend comes in tomorrow morning and is staying with us through San Diego Comic Con. I’m looking forward to it a bunch, but need to get a lot done around the apartment tonight since I was gone for four days. I need to get groceries and prep a bunch of meals to keep Vani fueled up as she sets up and works the convention. I love meal prep so it won’t be an issue, but I need to decide on what to make.

I mentioned above that I’ve been using my Playdate a ton again and I’ve got like five pages of follow-up impressions floating around in my head. I’m hoping to sit down and compile all of my thoughts sometime after SDCC. I’m thinking that, if I do, I’ll post them up here in parts before putting them out into the public.
