I am Natalia's daddy! My latest happenings as well as my lil' girls happenings will be posted here as I live them.

I like to read science fiction, fantasy as well as classics and comics. Always looking for recommendations. Like to play video games and board games. Love to watch old movies and shows, as I find them relaxing and entertaining. Last but not least. like to feed the birds and do some gardening.

Proud to be a US Navy Corpsman veteran and part of the Southwest Region Funeral Honor Guard.

Life Changes?

Nice cool days up here and Thursday decided to go for a short walk by Keller Peak. A short walk on one of our normal areas and Natalia ended up waist deep in water. Can't blame her, she is my child and nothing a towel and the washer can't fix. Friday was another great day as we made our way to the Lego store and to the bookstore for geek fan day activities in great company. Saturday again we stopped by the market, library and park as usual in a rather warm morning. However Saturday we had some very special visitors come up to our cabin to share a few hours and a few games. I really enjoyed playing Survivor with four players and Natalia again managed to sneak in a win. How does this happen? Later it was off to Natalia's grandparents for a BBQ spread.

Still slowly reading Seveneves and it has slowed down a little past the half way point and hope for a strong surprising finish from Neal Stephenson.

Sunday I was blessed to again be able to go on another ride with the AARP folks and a little warm but as always a great ride among great company even though a few of us only joined us partway through the ride. I am getting the itch again to go for a long trail run and since I have a few days off coming up and deciding to spend them at home sharing if possible with my new connection. I will say I am feeling more at peace with myself and less stress lately which is a great thing for me.

Later this week thunderstorms are expected for a few days and I am hoping for that and ready for the storms we have been getting lately. Maybe even lower temps are forecasted. This weekend Natalia sadly will not be present in the house and I will miss her and hope to spend more time with my new "hopeful" companion getting to know each other more. Maybe some running and another mountain bike ride this coming Sunday. Also hoping to learn a new game to share and experience.

Check out the Dice Tower preview videos on GenCon. Here is part 1 of many more.
