What I'm reading

Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree is a cozy fantasy. I don't know if that's a real genre, but it should be. It has all the elements of a cozy mystery. A small business owner specializing is some type of food is trying to realize the American dream when a body shows up and threatens everything.

In this story, an orc retires from adventuring to pursue her dream of owning a coffee shop. She's a small business owner, specializing in coffee, trying to realize her dreams without killing anybody. Cozy.

This book will make you crave a cinnamon roll. Thimble the ratkin baker is my favorite character. Next time I play D&D I might have to run a character based on him. I haven't finished it yet, but so far I give it 4 out of 5 cinnamon rolls.

NYC Ghost Stations

I've been researching New York's abandoned subway stations, specifically, the Old Town Hall station. Famed for its beauty, it was known for its intricate tile work, chandeliers, and skylights. It was closed in 1945, when the subway cars grew too large for its curved platform.

The transit museum has recently started opening it for tours, and it looks absolutely lovely.

It's back!

Netflix's reality show Physical 100 is back for a new season! I love this show.

1. It's fun to watch people who are really good at something do the thing they are really good at

2. I really like the design of the games, which call for strategy and the strengths of different types of athletes.

For instance, in Season One there was a powerhouse team made up of massive dudes, but the first test was based on speed and endurance and they lost.

This season, the teams have really focused on balancing their strengths and weaknesses, which makes for really interesting viewing. I loved the maze challenge.
