Museo de Antropología in CDMX is one of the best museums I've visited in my life. If you are in the area, make sure you stop by.

I lost myself among the Tolteca and Mexica rooms for over 6 hours and I had to be kicked out.

I saw only half of it.
I will be back.

First impressions on Ciudad de México: what a wonderful city, full of people and great food, with beautiful spaces and lots of greenery.
The weather is fantastic: 23 C, dry, sunny.

More exploring tomorrow!

If you have recommendations on foods, places to visit, game stores, salsa dance socials, let me know!

Fantastic event last night. We played "So You want to Be an American" - a board game about the US Citizen process - with game designer and educator Cody Pietro, who presented the game and facilitated 6 tables!

Watching "The American Revolution" by Ken Burns, on @PBS.

There is something so comforting and delightful about Burns' series; they are so well documented, well edited, and informative.

This one is also a good reminder about the founding principles of this country.

Intermission to highlight a great Viognier/Vermentino/Chardonnay White blend from Lebanon (pic. 1), a phenomenal Ripasso red from Valpolicella (pic. 2), and a smoky delightful amaro from Trento (pic. 3).

Drinks like these make life so much better.

See you next year!

Also proud of Durham, CT, where I actually live and vote - a small and very purple town, which turned pretty blue this fall.

Well done to Durham CT Democrats for a truly well-run campaign.

Metatopia is one of those rare TTRPG-related events where I look at the schedule and there are way too many games I want to try.

In my schedule, I had a first, second, and often a third great option for each time slot. And I created a document to write down information about ...

Hartford, you were so beautiful today.

Proud of this state for showing up in every city and town.

A rare moment of joy among all this dread.

Yesterday I went to a great concert by the Ukrainian Bandurist Chorus of North America, an ensemble of 12 bandura players and 24 male singers who played new and traditional Ukrainian songs on the bandura, a Ukranian folk instrument with an impressive number of strings and an incredible history.

Thank you Wesleyan latin and ballroom association for hosting a salsa / bachata / merengue social on campus. I really needed that after an insane week of work.
