|| I had the awesome joy of taking my parents to see Star Wars Ep VII: The Force Awakens last week.

Pinnacles National Monument
|| While I was in California last week I was able to go hiking in Pinnacles National Monument with my parents. It is beautiful, but rugged terrain.

Then I start poking around online looking at the miniatures and I remember just how significant of an investment in time … Continue reading Warhammer 40k

Although I did watch the first … Continue reading The Force Awakens
