I am a retired educator, coach and historical gamer. I feel very blessed to have worked in my hometown schools & served as a city councilman. Thankful to live in a small town in southern Indiana.
We are so proud of these two kids. They played their hearts out.
If you are from Scott County, IN-you know that Thanksgiving starts @ the County Rivalry games.
We all competed on the court and now we gather as families and communities to give thanks for all of our blessings. HAPPY THANKSGIVING 🦃🍁

I am proud of leading the charge to bring back high school football to Scottsburg. It’s been 10 years since our first varsity game and Coach Mullins has built a competitive program. Go Warriors!!!

We took Alliance from Columbia Games out for a spin. France suffered a setback as Spain decided for neutrality. Austria influenced both Prussia & Turkey under his influence. Britain attacked a neutral Spain, so they sought help from a benevolent Russia. This is our first multiplayer game of this.

We finished GMT’s Downfall last night. The Western Allies won with 10 point victory. We enjoyed the game immensely. It’s now on to Columbia Games’ Alliance. #boardgames #ColumbiaGames @gmtgames.bsky.social

Four of us played Kingmaker II today. We had a great time and both games ended in Alliance victories. It is an outstanding improvement to a classic! #boardgames #GibsonGames

Great trip to Niagara Falls, Canada. It was an amazing experience and we stopped at the birthplace of Wings, the Anchor Bar in Buffalo. It was an outstanding trip. #Wings

Midweek gaming continues with Downfall. It’s July 1944 and the Western Allies have liberated Paris and are across the Austrian Alps. The Soviets are gearing up in the East. This is a great design. @gmtgames.bsky.social

As someone who lives in a small rural town this concerns me. A ER Doc that’s a friend says there is doubt whether the hospital can weather the storm. MAGA neighbors have no idea this may happen to them. What people don’t realize is SS is next. He said no cuts, but his promises are worthless. #SaveSS

We had a great time at the James Taylor concert. He is almost 80 and played for a couple of hours. The next day, my wife and I went around downtown Cincy. We then walked to the park to watch the thrilling extra innings victory over the Yankees at Great American Ball Park! #Cincy #Reds #JamesTaylor

We had a great day enjoying IU baseball. It was a competitive game though the Hoosiers came up short. It was then to Big Woods Blloomington for smoked wings and truffle Parmesan fries. @indianabase.bsky.social
