Happy St. Patrick's Day! Enjoy the day, however you celebrate (if you are celebrating!). I will be attending the traditional local parade to watch a procession or tractors and GAA (football) teams pass me by. It is overcast and cold here, so its a perfectly Irish day!

Beyond the Woods launches tomorrow and I am SO EXCITED!
This time last year I was in a really shitty place cause of a toxic work environment and I was miserable. Now I'm on the cusp of launching my first Kickstarter for my very own #ttrpg book and. It's a very different kind of stress!

Did you know that in Irish mythology the Tuatha De Danaan had four great cities? Falias, Gorias, Finias, and Murias
Tír Nascath once also had four great cities: Céad Darach, the First Oak; Darach Nua, the New Oak; Rath Badb, the Fort of Badb; and Bailey Dé, God's Home.

I had never actually read The Hobbit, so me and my son started reading it in 2019. He was 3 at the time, so wasn't interested 😂 but we came back to it last year and he loved it. And he was old enough to write in when we finished it.
I will now treasure this book forever.
