Last night’s Riichi meetup taught me I need to play a bit more defensive. “Know when to hold ‘em know when to fold ‘em” applies to Mahjong too. Especially when the player to your right calls riichi. #riichi #mahjong

I think the games on my shelf are giving me the stink-eye. #boardgames #riichi #mahjong #RiichiMahjong

Mitch Hedberg lied!!! 😜😉

I think I may have a problem… 72 Riichi Mahjong matches during the month of October. I have become Riichi Mahjong obsessed. In other news I picked up my 1st ICCF Master Norm in chess. #bgstats

After a bit of a self imposed hiatus, I’m painting again. I’ll take it as a win that Siri could identify the species of my painting correctly

So this is how civilized nations hold elections.

Happen upon this little Hermit Thrush on my walk this morning…. Hardly a vocabulary left to wonder, uncertain as we are of so much in this existence, this botched, cumbersome, much-mended, not unsatisfactory thing. (Amy Clampitt 1920-1994)

F you Kramnik, get help. #chess #danya #Kramnik

You don't want to get mixed up with a guy like me. I'm a loner, Dottie. A rebel.

Wait until Bo realizes Shiva has 8 hands to pet him

Learn something new everyday. I never knew Coltrane lived in Philly! He played the Jawn like no other :-)

He was ridiculously a good boy. He wore the collar of Fishman.

Nice tribute by Agadmator as he reviews one of Danya's games. Tuan Minh Le vs Daniel naroditsky 2021, Old Indian, Tartakower (Wade) variation (A41)

I'm in shock. so sad

Just made one of the hardest calls I ever had to make. Appointment for tomorrow at 3pm. Forever a good boy

Last night’s David Byrne show at the Met in Philly was unlike anything I have seen in my life. Wireless musicians, no wires/monitors/micstands/stacks/effects pedals. The musicians danced Choreographically with HD set images (sometimes moving) projected around them. The sound quality was PERFECT.

I am falling down a Mahjong rabbit hole. Since learning the rules, I have been digging the strategy/scoring/History behind both the Chinese & Richi Rule sets. Found a Mahjong Meetup Group (Philly Mah-Jawn) that I’m going to check out. Been playing against apps be nice to play in person. #mahjong

AI nonsense, although I’m kinda OK with this. Although what’s with the wedding ring. Plus when I was married I would take off my ring as not to damage my goat skin Djembe head.

Eila and Something Shiny, my lasted shiny object. A one player story driven game. Started with the introductory “chapter”. Cute #boardgames #EilaAndSomethingShiny

Goose - Mann Music Center, Philadelphia PA October 4th, 2025

There are many things we can learn from cats…. Like today Shanti taught me to always close the dresser drawers. Next he’s gonna teach me about cable management! #ragdoll #cats #comfortable

Little game of Concordia Solitaria tonight. I won 134-127. I had biggus pointus. Concordia is such a great game and the solitaire expansion works really well. Need to play on some of the other maps I have. Highly recommend if you are a fan of Concordia or the designer Mac Gerdts

My September #boardgame stats. Highlights for me was: I achieved my 1st Chess Master Norm on ICCF. Also Learned(ing) Mahjong 🀄️. LOVE the strategic scoring aspect. It’s not enough to win, that just ends the game. You need to win with Style. So many variations.. Chinese, Riichi, american….

My cat Shanti loves playing games. He’s not that good though… I’m leading 4-2 in our chess match

Been playing Scythe again (on BGA), and totally love Jakub Rozalski's art in the game.

My latest obsession…. From the Moon. Lost by one action. I needed just one more build on Titan🟡 to win. So close!!! Im actually a bit salty about this loss. So close!!! Love this game solo. So close!!! Did I mention it was close? So close!!! #boardgame #FromtheMoon

Happy Heavenly Birthday B.B. Thrilled to listen to this show. After all these years the Thrill is NOT gone.

We need to bring back Boo’ing Bob Dylan performances. My god last night’s Outlaw performance was awful. Walked out… never got to see Willie because I couldn’t sit through 90mins of mumbling & muddled sound from an unlit stage. Cant blame the sound engineer, sound was perfect for Crow & Waxahatchee

All this talk about "America First", and I still have to scroll through a list of a 100 countries when entering my mailing address on website of a company based in the United States.

34th Anniversary of the Best F'ing Concert that I have attended in my life. There have been shows that have come close... (Looking at you 12/31/23 Phish/Gamehendge & 7/27/25 Phish/Tweezer Fest), But this concert was the grateful dead's consummate performance—flawless, passionate, and unforgettable

Terraforming Mars the Dice Game. Matt Damon I am not in this game. I failed to complete the Terraformation. (Sad Trombone) As far as “the dice game” implementations go, this one is pretty sweet #boardgame #TerraformingMars #theDiceGame

Down the street from me. The scarlet begonias on top is a nice touch #gratefuldead #scarletbegonias #stealie

The shadow troops seized control of Rivendell losing all hope for Gandalf, Gimli, Legolas, merry/Pippin and Frodo/Sam as their quest ends in defeat. Lord of the Rings - Fate of the Fellowship. An amazing adaptation of the pandemic system in the LOTR universe. I HIGHLY recommend #boardgame #lotr

Couch touring tonight!

Marco Rubio Says US Is Designating 2 More Gangs as Foreign Terrorist Groups one of them is "Los Lobos"!!! These guys? Cesar, David... I'm disappointed in you
