    Facebook Flashback: Bond And Martinis #4

    December 29th, 2015 (FB Post Date): Thunderball Our least favorite so far. It’s worth mentioning that even without martinis, it was often hard to follow the plot. Gadgets: Lots of underwater stuff, bad guys had cool mini subs. A completely unneeded jetpack?Bad Guy: Spectre, with a plan being run by #2. Meh.Martinis: None imbibed.Bond Girl:…

    A Date To Celebrate 25 Years Of Dating!

    It was May 4th, 2001 and I was a couple weeks away from moving from Minnesota to Oregon by way of Alaska. I was crashing on the couch of my long time friend (and secret crush) Michelle. She was taking vacation time off work to drive with me to Alaska on a farewell trip. Someday…

    Facebook Flashback: Bond And Martinis #1

    Way back in 2015 Michelle and I did a series of posts on Facebook in which we watched James Bond movies in chronological order and wrote some silly comments. We also drank martinis and tried to perfect our favorite recipe as the series went on. Fast forward to 2026 and we thought, “Why not revisit…

    Some High Stuff: Arouca 516

    After moving from Minnesota to Oregon it was darn near impossible to avoid adding hiking as a hobby. The state is known for amazing trails and we could get to the Pacific Crest Trail in 30 minutes. Our normal routine was day hikes in the 5-10 mile range. Our longest hike was 39 miles which…

    Some Old Stuff: Citânia De Briteiros

    My cousin John visited a few weeks ago and in planning his visit he said he was interested in seeing some Roman ruins or a similar attraction. Lucky for him we live less than ten miles from an amazing archaeological site. Citânia de Briteiros is an unearthed “urban” community which actually existed in pre-Roman times…

    My grandpa Finazzo was a farmer in Minnesota, he had a farm and a tractor and the whole shebang. Like most farmers he supplemented his income in a variety of ways but his core identity was related to tending to his crops. I imagine sometime around 1979 someone saw the new board game The Farming…

    I Want To Be The Head Wizard In Charge!

    Today I’m going to talk about one of our favorite board games, Argent: The Consortium, in which players battle to win the most votes and become the new chancellor at the magic university where you all work. Don’t run out and buy the game yet, I have a lot to say about Argent and depending…

    Love Is Blind: A Trainwreck I Can’t Stop Watching

    We have watched Love Is Blind since its inception in 2020. The general concept is a group of people speed date each other while sitting in pods and don’t see each other until they are engaged. Once engaged (some) of the couples are whisked away for a grand vacation, then they move in together, and…
