Here We Go Kids...

I've got a couple things to talk about today, on the last day of the tire fire that was 2018, (they're all tire fires).

The first is that I've finally updated all of my pictures that I didn't post during the past two weeks. You can go back and check them out or go to my tumblr (HERE) to check them out.

The second ties to the pictures...on December 20th and 23rd my brothers and I invented a nerdy game tied to the Pokemon video game franchise. The rules are in my "Game Corner" section on the right of the site. We're very proud of it.

Gearing up for Breaking Down

I'm working on scanning and updating all the pictures from during the holidays. Those should be up by day end tomorrow.

Looking at my stats at the halfway point and going into the New Year I'm pretty happy with what I see. The struggles are predicable: Drinking alcohol and coffee, eating savory snacks and watching TV. I'm thinking about some things to help curb this further, as I do every year.
