Updates on things

In no particular order:

• For anyone who reads this blog for the board game reviews, you will likely be waiting a while for the next one.  The next random game selected from my collection just hasn't grabbed my attention, and I keep finding other things to do instead of playing the game and writing about it.  I will eventually get to it, but I don't want to force play of the game when I'm not into it, as I will almost assuredly not give it a fair shake if I do that.
• I have made some good progress on my goal of reading 20 books in 2013.  Two finished this year, with a third book 3/4 read and a fourth book almost half read.  Looking good!
• I have also made good progress with getting back to playing the guitar.  I have been playing roughly three times per week so far this year, and I was very surprised at how quickly everything has come back to me.  It has been great to get playing again, with the exception of the annoyance of having to build callouses back up again on my left fingers.  Ah, well, "no pain, no gain," right?
