Summer Plans Made Too Late and a Birthday Weekend Update

There's a lot of covering up of pass details, but I can assure you that Hikau, the Robot is a fun game. —Taken with an iPhone 8 

There were a couple of things I wanted to try out this summer that, unfortunately, I didn't get the chance to do—the major one being a trip on the local water taxi.

This was on me for buying a season pass way too late into the season (Mid-August)—and finding out that the taxi's hop-on hop-off service only operates on Saturday and Sunday. My Dad was working on the deck over the summer and since we both managed to frequently get Saturdays off, I wanted to be present to help him when he needed it—especially when the heat managed to break. 

The other one was a Grub Street virtual class and they had some really neat ones including one on writing unlikeable characters and a scriptwriting workshop. I'm not worried about missing them—I feel like they'll come up again regardless of season. 

However, I do have one day trip left back to Boston to start off the birthday weekend—and to properly close off summer. This trip is going to be a little different and will be more of a proper downtown tour. I'm going to post the highlights as I go on Mastodon—with later crossposting to Twitter*—and will probably do a longer blog post about it later on next month. 

What else? 

Shipwreck Lane will be a review for October. I might sneak a poll in next week to see what game I should review before the end of the year. 

Hope you all had a good summer!
