I have too many articles of clothing. Not so many that won't fit in a standard sized closet and an average sized dresser but more than I certainly need, or rather, want. Currently most of my clothes are hung up in the closet of what is technically our son Ben's room, although he's never slept a night in there in his almost two years of existence outside of the womb. It's really more a large walk in closet for both of our clothes that also has a crib and rocking chair in it. At some point I'll need to combine my clothes with Christine's in the walk in closet in our bedroom but that won't be possible unless my wardrobe drastically changes.

I'm about to do 41 damage to my opponent who only has 20 Authority left. Winner, winner, chicken dinner! I just logged my 500th game of Star Realms against a live opponent. I lost which was disappointing, especially considering my next turn would have allowed for me to play 3 bases, but that's neither here nor there. I wanted to do a quick write up about what playing a single game that many times is like.

Not my collection but that would be awesome. I've been seriously into the board game hobby for a little over four years now, but have been playing board/card games in some fashion ever since I can remember. In the past four years, my collection has changed drastically from mostly the types of games everyone had (Monopoly, Risk, Phase 10, Yahtzee, etc.) to true hobby games like (7 Wonders, Splendor, Tikal, Biblios, etc.). Not only did it change, but it exploded in size. I always had around 50 - 75 games at any one time but at current count, I'm sitting on 156. I have friends whose collections dwarf mine but I've come to the realization that I want less than I have. I want to play the games I love more, rather than playing a bunch of new things once or twice. It's kind of sad seeing games sit for years....yes, years....going unplayed on a shelf. This happened more than I'd like to admit but up until last summer, my gaming opportunities were few and far between. No
