Intermission to highlight a great Viognier/Vermentino/Chardonnay White blend from Lebanon (pic. 1), a phenomenal Ripasso red from Valpolicella (pic. 2), and a smoky delightful amaro from Trento (pic. 3).
Drinks like these make life so much better.

Also proud of Durham, CT, where I actually live and vote - a small and very purple town, which turned pretty blue this fall.
Well done to Durham CT Democrats for a truly well-run campaign.

This. TTRPGs are potatoes, friends.
With branching root systems and deeply connected with all that came before and what will come after.

#Ttrpgs are potatoes, not carrots. There is no one true taproot origin story for any game, ttrpg or otherwise. Instead, all the nodes of experience & culture & family & etc etc go into whatever eventually springs forth. The interconnected web of all that came before contributes to whatever is "new."

Yesterday I went to a great concert by the Ukrainian Bandurist Chorus of North America, an ensemble of 12 bandura players and 24 male singers who played new and traditional Ukrainian songs on the bandura, a Ukranian folk instrument with an impressive number of strings and an incredible history.
