What did you discover?

Anne Mollo

So far, watching hockey/football/baseball, playing soccer, collecting comic books, attending music concerts, doing wine tourism...

Are you also at least discovering new things to enjoy?

Anne Mollo

Trying to. Nothing's sticking.

Oh, add role-playing games and technical conferences to the list.

Oh, we're playing more board games now. That's fun.

Shhh, ignorance is bliss.
