Professor of Game Design, Potter, Garden Gnome, Board Game and Escape Room Designer, Green Man Main. I play video games on Easy mode; I'm too old to get gud.

As I've been sorting all of my games after the move, I've been thinking about my top games. Here is my top 4. - Agricola (with card drafting) - Indonesia - Railways of the Lost Atlas - The Voyages of Marco Polo

I've recently added into some other social media tools: @scottnicholson on Gander (a Canadian-only social media app) @scottnicholson on hey.cafe and then I'm still active on Facebook at professor.scott.nicholson ok so I'm boring with my handles. :)

I was ordering new glass frames, and for whatever reason, the silver frames jumped out at me because they matched my beard. I've always had brownish frames..and I realized that the frames I have now were ones I bought some time ago... when I had a different color in the beard. #silveryears

I was at the International Plowing Match today, and checked out the VIP Plowing, which was a representative from each of the 4 parties. I was amused to see the size of the four groups at the rural event. (For non-Canadians, Blue = conservative, Orange = labor (NDP), Red = Liberal, Green = Green).

Four groups of people with tractors - a large group with a blue tractor, a smaller group with an orange one, a smaller group with a red one, and a very small group with a green one.

Oh, you milk frother. You just think you are SOOO funny, spilling milk all over the place like that. Yes, I put too much milk in you, but I didn't have my glasses and I couldn't see the fill line. But you should have known better. What do you have to say for yourself? Frother:

A tall metal object with milk splitted on the side.   A black plastic disk with milk spilled in a way to make a goofy happy face.

Y'all, fun, free logistics advice: Please stop using UPS for Canadian shipments. No matter what's in the package or what's on the customs paperwork, UPS Canada will assess a duty on it, and if the declared value is over 40$ CAD, will charge absurd, exorbitant customs broker fees.

You know you work in book logistics when you realize you don't actually hate all the divisions and branches of UPS equally because there's a special place in hell for UPS Canada.
