Gary Paulsen, best known for writing the YA novel ‘Hatchet’ (though he wrote a lot more), died today. I remember reading that book in school. I’m glad he wrote it, and glad I read it.

ICYMI, I wrote about my experience at Geekway 2021 this year. My wife and I played 24 different games. A few standouts:
- Renature
- Blossoms
- Rolling Realms
- Meadow
- Islands in the Mist
- Holi: Festival of Colors
- Dice Miner
- Tapestry
- Parks
- Everdell

I must’ve missed Supermarket Sweep going in a very different direction in 1991.

Opening evening of Geekway to the West in the books. Everybody vaccinated and masked while playing in the common areas. We played three play-and-win games: Renature, Blossoms and Santa Monica. Finished just before midnight. Not too bad.
