$100 Board Game Collection Challenge

Image
Your board game collection is gone. Maybe it burned up in a fire, got destroyed in a flood, evaporated into thin air, or maybe you wanted to live as spartan as possible and gave all of your games away but now want to start from scratch. Regardless of the situation, you've decided you're going to rebuild with just $100. What games to you add first? Do you go for your favorites or do you try to get as much bang for your buck as possible? This what if scenario has been posed in different forms on BGG and by various board game content creators. I thought I'd take a crack at this challenge to see what games I would start my collection rebuild with. Let's set some ground rules: 1) Games must be in print and available online 2) Prices from one of the OLGS (I used GameNerdz) 3) No multi-use decks (like standard playing cards) Following those rules, here are the games I would start my collection over with: No Thanks - $9.17   My mind immediately went this this as my first choic

Social Media Break

Image
I'm struggling right now. I'm searching for direction, trying figure out what I want to do in my life. I'm working on being a better person and want to get more fulfillment out of the work that I do. Instead of focusing and creating a plan, I spend way too much time on social media. It's easy to get lost in the lives of others, hilarious memes, constant "breaking news" updates, and the seemingly non-stop political coverage that is this time period's blood sport. So for at least the month of February, I'll be taking a break from Twitter and Facebook (they're the only platforms I use). I've already deleted the apps off of my phone in an effort to help break the chains, so to speak. The hope is that I better use the time that I used to spend just mindlessly scanning through those feeds. Other than using that time towards working out whatever it is that I'm going through right now, there are a bunch of other things that will easily fill

2022 New Year's Goals

Image
  I bit off a bit more than I could chew in 2021, but did still had some great successes across the six goals I set for myself. For 2022, I'm scaling back and focusing on just two goals in 2022 because they're more involved and important to my health and happiness. There are some other personal and hobby things that I want to put more time towards, but don't want to set goals for them. Not having specific goals for those eliminates the obligation to get them done. After the last two years, I want to make 2022 a little less stressful. That being said, each of my 2022 goals have multiple objectives within them that need to be completed in order to meet the overall goal. Goal #1: Improve Overall Health Health comes first. I've written often about my health and have set all sorts of health related goals over the years. The thing that turned everything around for me was making exercise and healthier eating a part of my daily routine. That doesn't mean I always eat clean
