A month from now I’ll be experiencing my first trip to GenCon and I’m super excited!

I’m counting down the days and can hardly wait. (August 4-7 in Indianapolis, IN)

For those that aren’t familiar with GenCon, it’s the largest gaming convention in the United States. Or to quote from their website:

“Gen Con is the original, longest-running, best-attended, gaming convention in the world! Featuring 500+ exhibiting companies from the game industry, award-winning authors and artists, costumed attendees, more than 14,000 events, a Family Fun Pavilion, and the debut of exciting new games, Gen Con truly is The Best Four Days in Gaming!”

Happy Father’s Day!

Today’s another great day to celebrate parenthood. We start with Mother’s Day in May and follow with Father’s Day in June. It’s a nice one-two punch for parents.

Cheers to those who sacrifice so much to raise their children!

It’s not an easy task.

Every year that passes, I come to appreciate fatherhood even more.

Today was another big milestone day for our family.

Our son Jaden graduated from high school!

It’s a day full of smiles all around.

Smiles of happiness for this achievement. And smiles of happiness for what’s to come.

Because Jaden isn’t sitting still.

He’s off to see the world.

I love seeing Mother’s Day on the calendar. I love that there’s a special day to celebrate mothers. But more

If you’re looking for an excuse to play a bunch of board games, card games, dice games, and party games this weekend, you’ve got one — International Tabletop Day.

You won’t be alone in your game day this Saturday because a gazillion people around the world will be doing the same thing.

Ok, maybe not a gazillion. But there will be a ton!

Last week, I was away on a business trip on my birthday.

Since I love spending time with family and friends on special occasions, being on the road for my birthday didn’t sound too enticing. But I wouldn’t let that slow me down.

Instead, I’d just find a different way to celebrate and have fun on my birthday.

I figured the proper way to spend a birthday is with others. So I made my way to the Labyrinth game store!

Last week I was traveling for work and decided to take advantage of some of the evening time visiting a couple game stores along the way.

I stopped by the Fair Game store in Downers Grove, IL as well as the Fantasy Flight Games Center near Minneapolis, MN.

I had a great time visiting both stores and would highly recommend them to anyone either living in those areas or passing through.
