A Leaf on the Wind: September 2013

http://www.josephsack.com/2013_09_01_archive.html

A Leaf on the Wind. Sunday, September 22, 2013. Catching Up and Moving Out. My month continued with my usual sort of trouble: Cards Against Humanity, contra dancing, and studying algorithms. I managed to set a personal record by distracting six cats at once. I also started dating a wonderfully geeky girl. I found that dating someone who gets my cultural references and shares my interests makes spending time together less intense and more relaxing. Last week, I had four screws removed from my ankle. W...

A Leaf on the Wind: Jammin in June 2014

http://www.josephsack.com/2014/10/jammin-in-june-2014.html

A Leaf on the Wind. Monday, October 6, 2014. Jammin in June 2014. Is a well-oiled machine, producing fresh dumplings direct to your table at record-breaking speed. The portions are huge, and the chili sauce is the best I've ever had. You may have an hour or two wait to get a table, so stop by the Lucky Strike. Arcade to blow a few quarters. It's a great way to spend an afternoon in Seattle. I went to my first major league baseball game! If you're a fan of music, science fiction, or fantasy it has incredi...

A Leaf on the Wind: July 2013

http://www.josephsack.com/2013_07_01_archive.html

A Leaf on the Wind. Monday, July 29, 2013. Fun and Games and Glass Blowing. Birmingham's best gaming convention is called Play On Con. This year the con was held at the Alabama 4-H Center. That meant large open spaces, archery, and canoeing! The following weekend, I headed to Atlanta for some rollercoaster action at Six Flags Over Georgia. The Georgia Cyclone was the first rollercoaster I remember riding as a kid. It was even more fun than I remembered! Links to this post. Friday, July 19, 2013. With a f...

A Leaf on the Wind: November 2013

http://www.josephsack.com/2013_11_01_archive.html

A Leaf on the Wind. Tuesday, November 5, 2013. Birmingham to Seattle by Way of Key Largo. As I prepared for the big move, my friends threw me a going away party. It was an incredible experience of delicious food and cherished moments with friends. In honor of my new job, they got me an Amazon cake complete with marshmallow packing peanuts! The reef itself was full of unique colors and shapes from vibrant coral to flowing kelp, and seeing a wreck at the bottom of the ocean was surreal. The movers ran late...

A Leaf on the Wind: Happy Holidays 2014

http://www.josephsack.com/2015/01/happy-holidays-2014.html

A Leaf on the Wind. Saturday, January 10, 2015. I kicked off the holiday season by celebrating Halloween with Sasquatch Board Game Festival! It was an incredible weekend full of meeting new friends, hanging out with old ones, and trying the latest board games from Essen. It reminded me of the friendly, welcoming atmosphere of events like Gulf Games and Oasis of Fun. I'm looking forward to connecting with more of the board game community in Seattle in 2015! I escaped from Puzzle Break Seattle. It was easi...

A Leaf on the Wind: June 2013

http://www.josephsack.com/2013_06_01_archive.html

A Leaf on the Wind. Thursday, June 27, 2013. While my ankle has been consistently healing, I was a little worried that it wouldn't be up to such a big trip. Fortunately it held up like a champ as I wandered over volcanic rock and trekked around the islands. It was even strong enough for me to learn some hula! The best is yet to come! Links to this post.

A Leaf on the Wind: Jumping July 2014

http://www.josephsack.com/2014/10/jumping-july-2014.html

A Leaf on the Wind. Tuesday, October 7, 2014. Geeks Who Drink is one of the best trivia events I've played. It's well-organized, with questions that are difficult, but not impossible. The themes are playful, and it hosts trivia at different locations multiple times a week. The big trick is finding a hosting location with a good space and convenient parking. On the way to We Will Rock You, I discovered an authentic New York style pizza place! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Joe and Chani's Adventures.

A Leaf on the Wind: April Adventures and May Madness 2014

http://www.josephsack.com/2014/10/april-adventures-and-may-madness-2014.html

A Leaf on the Wind. Sunday, October 5, 2014. April Adventures and May Madness 2014. It's been six months since my last update. I found myself in a relationship, sharing my adventures with my significant other rather than my blog. In the end, the relationship wasn't a good fit. Now I'm updating my blog with a quick rundown of my adventures to date. In April I took a trip to sunny Orlando! Back in Seattle, I took a second glass blowing workshop. This was a longer private lesson, making a half dozen pie...

A Leaf on the Wind: February 2014

http://www.josephsack.com/2014_02_01_archive.html

A Leaf on the Wind. Thursday, February 27, 2014. Diving for a Spark. My month started with a stroll along the beach at Fort Casey State Park. I've seen granular shell beaches, powdery white beaches, and black volcanic beaches, but I've never seen such an eclectic mix of a beach. We balanced on driftwood to make our way to a beach composed of large pebbles. It felt more rugged and Northwestern. We enjoyed a relaxing morning watching boats and otters. the typical ocean traffic. Links to this post. The view...

A Leaf on the Wind: Boise in August 2014

http://www.josephsack.com/2014/10/boise-in-august-2014.html

A Leaf on the Wind. Saturday, October 11, 2014. Boise in August 2014. Jean Valjean. It was the finest performance I have ever seen, only enhanced by an early fall evening in an outdoor theater. Always up for trying new things, I went to see Sinbad's standup act. I had heard of him, but I wasn't very familiar with his style. He wasn't bad, but wasn't my style either. One Sunday while visiting my favorite new vegan breakfast place, Silence Heart Nest, I wandered across Fremont's weekly outdoor market. ...
