Average weight for my height. My wife and I own @meeplemadness.com and live with two very photogenic cats.
This is not the cat the woke me at 1:45 AM. This is her son, who is as confused as I am. His mother has gone back to sleep.

I had forgotten how much is involved in moving into a new home. Also, I had no idea I had all these cool comics.

Okay, so hear me out. The young man in "Piano Man" (Billy Joel) eventually grows up to be the "Rocket Man" (Elton John), and reflects on his missed opportunities as a father in "Cats in the Cradle" (Harry Chapin). His son eventually grows up to be the father in "Father and Son" (Cat Stevens).

This was fun to see. I was surprised by how many guests stayed through the hour long power outage but even more surprised to see how many people drove over *during* the outage because they wanted to hang out and play in the dark.
The power is out here at the shoppe, but that won’t stop us from gaming! We hope everyone is having fun and staying safe on this stormy night.

I enjoyed Captain America: Brave New World, but my suspension of disbelief was hindered by some completely unrealistic scenes.
I can accept surfing on missiles, and the altered physics of how a shield bounces, but having politicians accept responsibility for their actions is a bridge too far.
