We have a family tradition of doing an annual “board game weekend” with some close friends. We eat snacks and play nonstop board games! Over this weekend, I played some old favorites and a few new games. Rated out of 5:

Sorted and safe in a climate-controlled space. Oak is heavy! instagr.am/p/CnU9e61PVYQ/
When I made built-in bookshelves for our last house, I swore I’d never do a project that size again. And now I’m looking at 450 feet of pre-finished oak that just landed in my garage—the pre-finish will cut down on labor but it’s still a gigantic project… instagr.am/p/CnUeHl2uYFY/
Trying, once again, to teach myself to draft longhand. The unseasonably warm weather helps. instagr.am/p/CnCPYZOOR9S/
Hours before dawn a friend and I took a canoe out on the Allegheny. It was extremely cold and extremely beautiful. instagr.am/p/CmJh0dCOjLE/
We have an advent tradition of turning off all electric lights (except the tree!) at sunset every night. It’s a little stressful and takes quite a bit of effort. But the way it slows our lives down is so incredibly life giving. instagr.am/p/ClzkUulPyAh/

Reading MADMAN for the first time. Extremely impressed that his yoyo is attached to the correct part of the finger. instagr.am/p/Ck_Q4cqPzOt/
The news first article I retweeted since Musk took over was proven to be verifiably false (flagged as false by Instagram but not Twitter). I'd re-post a more accurate article, but that would mean I'm treating Twitter as part of the legit news ecosystem -- which it clearly isn't.
DONATED! I'm keen for GA to elect a man of character who will defend our democracy and fight for a better future. Consider chipping in on this urgent race:
Runoff round 2! Let’s do this Georgia.

Seems like a good moment to retweet this pic! @JohnFetterman is a public servant in the truest sense of the word -- thrilled that he'll be fighting for PA on the national scene. Also, he is super tall ... he's slouching and I'm on my tip toes!
A BIG thanks to @JohnFetterman @giselefetterman & @JonathanAuxier for helping us get the HUMANITIES FESTIVAL word out with the @CulturalTrust!
CRAFT QUESTION:
I've got a book with multiple points of view. But often those pov characters are in the same scene together. The main story leans slightly toward one main protagonist, but I need to keep those other povs in play. How do I decide who gets to steer the scene?
CRAFT THOUGHT:
Apropos of nothing, I was thinking about The Fault In Our Stars. (Incoming spoiler!) I am struck by the way the plot so elegantly hinges on one of the most important lessons of adolescence: that we are not always the main character. The … instagr.am/p/CkgRC9rOke1/
This is me learning to knit and read at the same time. So far, it’s extremely difficult! instagr.am/p/Ckepb2VOPmF/
