Happy Father’s Day!
Today’s another great day to celebrate parenthood. We start with Mother’s Day in May and follow with Father’s Day in June. It’s a nice one-two punch for parents.
Cheers to those who sacrifice so much to raise their children!
It’s not an easy task.
Every year that passes, I come to appreciate fatherhood even more.

This past week I’ve played a lot of Memoir ’44.
And I’ve loved every minute of it!
Those that are familiar with our reviews will know that Memoir ’44 is one of my favorite board games. And it’s my most-played 2-player board game.
Since I first played Memoir ’44 with my buddies, we’ve held an annual D-Day Commemoration game night around June 6.
I always look forward to it and have yet to be disappointed.
Today was another big milestone day for our family.
Our son Jaden graduated from high school!
It’s a day full of smiles all around.
Smiles of happiness for this achievement. And smiles of happiness for what’s to come.
Because Jaden isn’t sitting still.
He’s off to see the world.

Last week, I was away on a business trip on my birthday.
Since I love spending time with family and friends on special occasions, being on the road for my birthday didn’t sound too enticing. But I wouldn’t let that slow me down.
Instead, I’d just find a different way to celebrate and have fun on my birthday.
I figured the proper way to spend a birthday is with others. So I made my way to the Labyrinth game store!

Last week I was traveling for work and decided to take advantage of some of the evening time visiting a couple game stores along the way.
I stopped by the Fair Game store in Downers Grove, IL as well as the Fantasy Flight Games Center near Minneapolis, MN.
I had a great time visiting both stores and would highly recommend them to anyone either living in those areas or passing through.

After a couple great days at SaltCon, I was looking forward to one final day of fun.
So with just a few hours of sleep, I was happily diving back into action before the main gaming hall opened.
Knowing it was the final day of SaltCon, I had to make the most of the day playing games at the top of my want-to-play list. And there were still many people I was hoping to meeting up with before the end of the con. It would be a busy and fun day!
