2024 Goals in Review

Posted on December 31

The last day of the year is here, and it’s time to look back at the goals I made at the first of this year and see how I’ve done. While some of these goals were gaming oriented, this year, I also made some non-gaming goals I wanted to tackle.

2024 Giftmas Gallery

Posted on December 30

While I did not write up a Giftmas series this year since I was on the road and received my gifts in person, I wanted to share some of the awesome things friends and family gifted me.

I’m So Glad I Left WordPress When I Did

Posted on December 4
