I picked up the three Pink Floyd “Immersion” boxes recently and after having dove into them, I’m ready to come up with my verdict on them. A missed opportunity that falls short. Oh, don’t get me wrong, they are good sets, but for the price, even at the discount I got them for, it just…
An interesting week. It started with a call from the school. Rushing over there I was first greeted with Déla who was on the playground for lunch recess. There was a reason I was called to the school was Ciárán. He wound up getting into an argument with a post during his lunch recess. Fortunately he…
I am the stay at home dad. That means all the domestic duties pretty much fall onto my shoulders, which is fine. I am, however, not a very “handy” kind of guy. I have a few tools, but fixing things is usually beyond me. A few years ago we had an issue with our washer…
August received the latest Geek Fuel box and it might be one of the best ever. Here is a closer look at the individual items in the box. Here is the mug, a great DC Comics referenced item. The tin is Mario, pixelated. Alternately in certain Geek Fuel boxes there was a pixelated Link box…
While it has been a couple of weeks, there hasn’t been much in the way of opportunity or occasion for picture taking. I do have a few to offer though. Let’s start off with a cute picture of Tevye. Last Wednesday Ciaran got to help out with the flag ceremony for the pack meeting. You…

As I looked at the next chapter for the Lost Mine Of Phandelver from the Starter Set, I noticed it mentioned players should be at level 4 by this point in the adventure. The problem is, most of the players are smack in the middle of level 3. What to do? A recent announcement from Wizards…
For Christmas this year Laura received from the kids (and me) Adele’s three (so far) albums. They are quite good. The quality of the singles she has released from each are matched by the remaining songs on those albums. But those are not the only albums new to our home. Through a combination of gift cards with…
As with the other posts in this series there are spoilers for the adventure contained in the Dungeons & Dragons Starter Set. I probably should have had a disclaimer in the last post, but there weren’t many spoilers in that chapter, but for this one, well… When last our adventurers gathered they had a lead…
This morning the world learned of David Bowie’s passing. Much like his most recent work, his illness was a secret, revealed only when in had to be. Two albums recorded in secret over the last couple of years. His final, released on January 8, his birthday, just 2 days before his death. There is so…
