I'll be the first to admit that I'm pretty competitive. I like to win and I like to be the best. However, in games, like in life, that doesn't always happen. I'm human. I mess up. I make mistakes. And many times, the hardest critic of my own actions and slipups is me. I messed … Continue reading Taking the L

A Year of the Pandemic
We have passed the year mark with the pandemic. I've seen a number of my friends posting about the last thing they did pre-quarantine. The world has changed a lot since then.
