5 and 6 both sucked, which is why I still play 4. You aren’t missing anything.

Doing better, thanks, not out of the woods yet.

Your art is pretty amazing!

Civ 4 will always be my fav. Did you see Civ 7 comes out in a few months? I can’t wait to try it!

We need more of this in the world!

That sounds fun, unless you don’t have many good deeds :)

Work is slow, you mean? What do you do?

Oof, good luck with the house hunting!

Those are all on my list to visit already, especially Romania. I visited Prague recently and I can imagine how amazing Romania must be.

Lady Grey

Earl Grey in a pinch

Hanging in there. I’m literally watching someone sleep. Contemplating a nap here as well.

How’s life treating you?

I love to travel any chance I get and New York is one of my favorites.

What is the plan for the next trip?

It’s pretty wild seeing the path they leave behind. Just seeing a straight path right through houses, but only hitting the one in the middle is crazy.

Wow, it seems we have a lot of hobbies in common! That is, along with the rest of my family lol.

I played D&D for a long time, eventually my (now adult) son got into it also and still plays. My choice of games is Civilization 4 these days.

My SO does triathlons, at least she did before all the health issues. I ran in the military and have come to find I loathe running. So I just tag along for moral support.

I’ve just recently started getting into photography a little more, and I love music. I used to play the sax as well (baritone), but it’s been a long time.

Fencing is great and such a workout! My whole family has done fencing at some point and my kid was in a team in college.

We also surf :)

I was also Enlightened. I had a great time, but found myself feeling less and less involved with the community until finally just wasn’t into it. I got to level 15 and then had 0 interest in grinding to 16.

Resistance or Enlightened?

Thanks! I really needed the distraction :)

That’s a great story! Do you travel often?

I get debilitating migraines also, so I can relate.

I’ve heard stories about kidney stones and it sounds absolutely horrible.

A week is such a short time! I love to travel, but I have to admit, Ghana wasn’t really on my radar. What’s the story behind the trip (if you don’t mind sharing)?

Geocaching is one and Ingress another.

I was a hardcore geocacher for about 3 years until I realized I just wasn’t into it anymore. I played Ingress for a few years as well and just kinda burned out.

Basically, I get into a hobby and I do it until it is all encompassing. Then right about the time I get to where you really have to grind to the next level, I lose interest.
