Father-Mucker – by Greg Olear

Father-mucker is a work of fiction from the viewpoint of Josh Lansky. He (tries) to make his living by pitching ideas to magazines and movie studios. He is a stay-at-home dad who is currently parenting his two young children by himself while his wife is on a business trip.

Things do not go as planned. This book is, at times, hilarious. It also offers some interesting insights and commentary on parenting, modern culture, politics, and the problems that come when rumors spread.

Seekers Notes: Combat Crossbow Collection

Seekers Notes is a game where the player becomes the Seeker and solves some mysteries. A player must find specific hidden objects in a location, in the hopes that a special item will drop.

The special item is typically one that a character owned or borrowed, that has disappeared. This happens because Darkwood is under a curse.

These screenshots were taken in October of 2018.

WoW Classic: Echeyakee

At the start of today’s adventure, Vaca was at Level 15. She was ready to take her newly acquired Stonewood Hammer and use it on whatever the quest givers wanted her to kill. She was certain Neverlast was equally ready to go.

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Terrarium Fishing Tourney

The Fishing Tourney Terrarium Decor event started on May 13, 2020, and ended on May 20, 2020. I happen to enjoy fishing in Pocket Camp, and I liked the look of the rewards.

We all could use something relaxing to do while coping with the COVID-19 pandemic. Virtual fishing in Animal Crossing Pocket Camp works for me.

The Great Influenza – by John M. Barry

The full title of this book is The Great Influenza – The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History. I started reading it during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was a book I’d been meaning to read long before COVID hit, and now seemed like a very appropriate time to start.

The influenza pandemic happened about 100 years before the COVID-19 pandemic did. There are so many similarities between how people back then reacted to influenza and how people today are reacting to COVID-19.

Season 21: Act IV Bounties

There was a new Challenge Rift to try when I started recording. It was tougher than the one that Season 21 started with. After that, I decided to work on completing a set of Act IV Bounties.

Season 21: Act III Bounties

In this video, my Hardcore Barbarian ran through a set of Act III Bounties. He started out at Level 24, and there isn’t a whole lot of the Season Journey that players this low of a level can complete.

Objective completed:

Arreat’s Most Wanted: Obtain an Act III bounty cache.

Ares the Barbarian ended this video at Level 31.
