Got the Tom Sawyer high score on Rush so now I'm going to bed.

Arthur is waiting for someone to play Skee Ball so he can chse the ball.

A black dog with a bandana stares at a lit up skee ball machine in a dark room between a pinball machine and a pop a shot.

Not sure what we're going to do about our Sequoia/Yosemite/Kings Canyon National Parks trip coming up in a week. The parks are open, but does a visit actually count if you don't get your passport stamped?

Oh, Toy Battle has a graveyard map! Adding it to the list along with Skulls of Sedlec. Maybe we'll listen to my Halloween playlist. I added two new songs to it today.

I get to play games with another person in Cleveland tomorrow. It's a Halloween miracle so I dug out my spooky games (except Horrified because I'm not feeling co-op& I never got around to printing the Abbott & Costello fan characters). I can't decide which one I want to play most.

Board games laying in a squarish pattern on the floor. The games are The Bloody Inn, Dracula vs Van Helsing, Corvids, Scream Park, and Jelyll vs Hyde.

I was worried I would fall behind on this, instead I'm finding it hard to stop at just one chapter a day.

New tiny Lego wildflower bouquet. Botanicals has become my favorite line of Lego products. They're easy to display and don't look quite as nerdy to company as R2D2 and Ecto 1.

A small bouquet of Lego wildflowers. There is a large pink gerbera daisy leaning over the front left corner. The back side has a tall blue larkspur. A yellow sunflower occupies the front right corner with white cow parsley separating it from the pink daisy. Yellow Welsh poppies are nestled around lavender and blue cornflower. Two lupins emerge from the sides showing their pink and lavender blooms with green horn like protrusions from the top od their stem.

Went to a used game sale in Canton and picked up this signed copy of Steam for $15. I figure I should play it one time in my life.

This is actually pretty good.

Just finished Raising Steam. Starting The Shepherd's Crown then I'll be sad that I have no more new Discworld to read.
