Kamál (Perfection), 14 Sharaf (Honor) 176 B.E. - Monday, January 13, 2020
PROMPT January 13th In your entry today, write about games! Board games, video games, card games, sports games, mind games, etc... Share a memorable story. The games I've played are numerous and varied. The most memorable and enjoyable were Candy Land, Monopoly, and Dungeons and Dragons. I also think I had a game of Dark Tower once, which I gave to my brother and his wife some time in the last century. The other games got lost in the numerous moves I've made since High School. When I played Dungeons and Dragons, I a reporter did a story on the game for the RJ Sunday insert. I don't know what happened to my copy; it probably got lost in the moves I've made since coming to Las Vegas. I've lost a lot of things in all the moves I've made. Somethings I regret losing and other things are just stuff that was in my life for a while, and passed on to whoever found them. Life is a game of acquisition and forfeiture, of attachment and detachment, of fulfilling desires and learning to let go. The only games I play anymore are online single player games. I play solitaire games, which I use as a reward from completing writing projects or some other goal. The games I prefer are 247 Solitaire , 247 Mahjong , and 247 Sudoku . I haven't played those in a while, but maybe I'll get back to them after January. I'm attempting to catch up on some writing project, and those games are extremely addictive. |
