The Stochastic Game

A little stroll to downtown Vancouver… looking good out there…

Judging from what my phone tells me, Apple thinks I was completely slacking off during my ski week…

Heart Eyes was a lot of fun. An improbable slasher/romantic-comedy combo that goes heavy handed on both accounts. The story makes no sense but it’s the boyfriend/girlfriend we made along the way that counts, right?

The good fluffy boy is learning that he should in fact NOT try to catch ducks… despite everything that his DNA and breeding tells him. Notice the untouched ducks in the background. The good fluffy boy is being good.

There are some pretty nice-looking mornings out here.

We have a Japanese/Korean grocery store on our block and the youngest kid and I love grabbing some unfamiliar funny-looking drinks and snacks when we shop there! Here are today’s grabs!

A couple years ago when I reduced dependency on the US for my investment accounts, the bank lady was a bit surprised and asked questions. This week I removed as much US leftover as possible from my portfolios and she didn’t bat an eye. I guess I’m not the only one… 🍁💪🏽🇨🇦

I was recently directed to this old little video primer on the story of Sodom and Gomorrah aaaand….. it was really worth the 4 minutes it takes to watch it 😂😝😆

Our RuneQuest game has lately been basically about the PCs staging a coup in the Far Place, overthrowing Harvar Ironfist, and taking control of the Alone city state. Tonight should feature political intrigue to see if they can hold it… and of course I designed a new rules subsystem for that 😂😝

Final Destination: Bloodlines was everything you’d want in a Final Destination movie. An over-the-top intro set piece. A new twist on the concept. Ridiculous deaths. A cool cameo. And the right level of self-awareness. Loved loved loved it!
