Blokus
Alex, Hannah, Karen, and I played a game called Blokus. I need to review what other players use as a strategy to play this gane as I didn't play well. I found this link: Strategy for Blokus

Simmering in the Background
When Bayside literally drives through Iowa on their way from Lincoln, NE, to Chicago, IL, where I will be is up in the air. There's a chance - 50/50 - that I may be leaving for Las Vegas on 2-26-2023 for the Pink23 conference! I have submitted a session description to be a speaker and, as of 10-20-2022 @ 7:52 AM, I do not know if I have been accepted as a speaker at the conference. The conference is the one I attended in 2020 about ITIL and it has a James Bond theme, which would be really awesome!
Driving Through IA without Stopping
Life is frustrating. My favorite band - BAYSIDE - is going on tour in 2023 and the tour dates do not include stopping in Iowa.
If I do have the chance to go to Chicago on 2-26-2022, I would purchase VIP tickets. As of right now, that'd be $310.50 for me and $310.50 for my friend who goes with me. It's at the Metro and I have never attended a concert there.
I hope it works out!
My Spider-Jedi Sense is Tingling
This list was published on Jun 29, 2021, 10:39 AM and I have some thoughts:
- Cradle of Filth, Cruelty and the Beast (1998) should not be on this list… it’s awful.
- I agree with including Slayer's Seasons In The Abyss
- I might have replaced Seasons with Megadeth's Rust in Peace if I wanted to ensure a Big Four band is on this list
- I can see the case for Iron Maiden's Powerslave, though I haven’t listened to it in decades
- I haven’t gone out of my way to re-listen to White Zombie's Astro-Creep 2000 in decades
- I haven’t gone out of my way to re-listen to Judas Priest's Screaming for Vengeance in decades
- DevilDriver, The Fury of Our Maker’s Hand (2005)

Pre-Game is Optimistic

The last time Iowa and Ohio State met, the Hawkeyes picked up a 55-24 victory.

The Way I See Things
I am constantly on the prowl for a typo in every sentence I read. I found one this morning.
Journey & Toto on 2023-03-21
I have never seen Journey in concert and I have never seen Toto in concert. I have the opportunity to do so on Tuesday, March 21, 2023, which is 154 days (5 months, 3 days) from now.
