We saw The Boys in the Boat at the Edina Theatre tonight and thought it was a great movie. It was a great underdog story told very well. The theatre was nearly full too — most people I’ve seen in a movie since before the pandemic! Highly recommended! 🍿

Tammy and I watched Everything Everywhere All at Once tonight and found it a wild trip. One of the strangest movies we’ve seen, but also somehow still all came together at the end and left me happy to have seen it.

Today is my 52nd Birthday, but I also share my birthday with Bitcoin. Happy 15th Birthday to Bitcoin! Genesis block was mined 15 years ago. 🎉⚡️
It turns out it was Mrs. Peacock with the Candlestick in the Conservatory!
First time playing the Tetris Tabletop Game and it is pretty good. I’m a big Tetris fan, and this doesn’t have the zombie speed that the video game does, but it brings good strategy and is a fun time. Tyler won with 38 points.

It is a family tradition to have fondue on New Year’s Eve. This years cheese fondue was particularly good.
After watching Flamin’ Hot last night we had to try some Flamin’ Hot Crunchy Cheetos! Hot indeed! 🔥🌶️

Mazie finished this amazing Typewriter LEGO. The movement is impressive and it makes a “clacking” sound that is reminiscent of the real thing. She finished exactly one year after starting it!

We watched Flamin’ Hot tonight and it was great! Wonderful movie and even better story!
First time playing Tsuro. Super interesting strategy requiring an indirect approach to attacking other players.
Hector, Mazie, and I took Lucky on a walk for her 4th Birthday! Happy Birthday Lucky! 4️⃣

Mazie and I got a barn selfie on our daily Lucky walk at the cabin.
Seasoning the griddle on the new Blackstone. Few applications in already. 🔥
Finished my Piranha Plant LEGO Super Mario build. Fun and unique build with many special pieces. I like how the mouth and leaves move. The hidden gold coin feature is a bonus. Will pair well with the Question Mark Block!
I assumed this project wouldn’t get done until spring but with nicer weather and no snow Mazie and I assembled the new Blackstone Flattop Grill! 34 steps and about 2.5 hours.
