Rolling our way to happiness

I got tired of my wife and I starring at computer screens and commenting on Facebook posts or Yahoo web news. We started date night which consisted of a meal at home or out followed by a movie or a concert in the park during the summer. This was fun and lasted during the summer but when winters bitter chill returned our date nights faded. We needed something to occupy ourselves during the long winter nights and take your minds out of the gutter.

I searched the web and stumbled across a blog and the author of the article was writing about all the same things I was thinking. The title of the article is “How gaming saved our marriage”.You can find it here. He listed a variety of board games that he and his wife played and ranked both of their opinions on the games using a simple ranking. This interested me because Robin and I used to play all sorts of card games like Pokémon and Harry Potter back when we were dating. So after some reading I decided on a game called Ticket to Ride.

The game went over great and we slowly added more games to our collection. We don’t play as often as I would like but it is a step in the right direction. In the coming weeks, I plan to offer up reviews of games played and both of our opinions on said games. Some will be just my review since my wife hasn’t played all of the games I have but I do hope someday to get her to play.

I promise a new blog is coming soon.

This holiday I plan to post a few new blogs. My reviews of my new obsession, boardgames. I also plan on making posts about the films I am working on and the things that happen there.

I know Jason is the only person to read this so please wait Jay. New content soon.
