Intro

Hi bud. 

So you hit a milestone this month. You just turned 3 years old and I feel like that's a good age to start playing games with you. Yes I know, we've been playing games for a long time, peek-a-boo of course is still the favorite, no denying that. And yes, we play ball outside... and inside even though your mother tells us not to but there are many different types of games out there buddy. I'm talking about a very special kind of game. There are games that come in boxes and have rules and lots of pieces that you put on a board and move around. Actually that doesn't sound very fun when you put it that way but trust me, it's super cool and I want to share these games with you. We call them board games.

Now before we go on, I want to make a promise. 

So this is a blog. It's a thing people do when they have something to say and they want to keep a record of it or maybe they just want to get their thoughts out of their heads. It's cathartic. Then there are some people that are really passionate about a hobby or a subject and like to geek out about it. That's the category I fall into but here's the thing: I've tried this before. Twice. Some time ago I did a thing about Disney movies but I never finished. And then recently I did a thing about Star Wars in video form, a vlog (that's another thing but don't worry about that right now). I also haven't finished that. My point is, I have a whole lot of unfinished projects in my life. I want to acknowledge that before anything else and I'm not sure if I can promise that this blog will be added to that list but right now, in this moment, I can promise that I will try to keep this going for as long as I can. So what is this blog about?

I hope I'm not being presumptuous when I imagine a future of the two of us playing games together once and a while. So those times when we do get together around the table and play, those are really special to me and I don't want to forget a single moment. That's what this is for. This is to be a record of sorts and a journal. A reflection and a series of letters to you. A tribute to games and a celebration of playing them
with you.

So thanks for playing,

Love Dad
