We didn’t do anything special, other than clap all week, and donated what we saved since January — but we are still tired and hurt. Thank you @gamesdonequick.com for a great event (we LOVED the new artist alley), and thanks to all the runners, staff, volunteers & everybody else we met along the way!

The early morning at #SGDQ was a lot of fun. Great crowd and cool runs! And the end of @oghappydude.bsky.social’s TMNT run made me tear up. Great job everybody.

Day trip to Vancouver. Had a fantastic time, ate good Poutine and enjoyed the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra performing video game soundtracks under “Game On”. So many talented musicians, and so many great scores! Alex loved Bioshock the most, while my favorite was Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag.

We know this account is all over the place. But here’s a picture from our walk the other evening… #photography #sunset

May the Fourth was amazing, now happy Revenge of the Fifth to everybody! #StarWars #Movie #Concert #Greenville #Symphonie
Alex and dad in dress shirts and ties, pretending to be in a lightsaber fight on a small patch of grass outside a house. Alex and dad smiling at the camera while sitting in a stadium. Seats are slowly filling up with people around them. Big screen reading “Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back In Concert - Welcome”. Underneath is the Greenville Symphony Orchestra warming up for her show, and the first few rows of people sitting in excitement. The big screen from the last picture now reads “Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back In Concert - Intermission”. It shows Luke Skywalker in a Rebels fighter pilot outfit holding a laser gun.

Spent a few days in Switzerland. Such a beautiful country! Thanks to all the friends we got to see and spend not nearly enough time with, and sorry to the ones we missed because we had to cut the trip short…
Photo of various houses and old buildings in the foreground, and snow covered mountain peaks of the Alps in the distant background, taken from the capitol building grounds in Berne, Switzerland. Photograph of a view up a street with a clear blue sky in the background, a church in the center which is slightly obscured by trees and bushes, and a Swiss flag in the left foreground. A picturesque photograph of a small lake named “Moossee” in the Bernese “Mittelland”. Blue sky with sparse cloud coverage on top of the photo, small hills and forests underneath with and a few single buildings. Then there is the small lake, and finally a green, empty field in the foreground. Photograph of the “Hagneck Canal” (part of the Aare river) from the hydroelectric power plant Aarberg. The river is prominently displayed, with a bridge visible further away, leading into some shrubbery, while the distant background is made up of a hillside covered in forest.
