End of an Era
May. 16th, 2026 11:00 pmT. and I and C. and R. all went to Puzzlescape for One Last Escape Room (at that business). It was the Odyssey game, and boy was there a lot to it. There was whack-a-hydra. There was a ball through a pipe maze. There was an aquarium maze (?). There was an old-timey hamster wheel treadmill turning an archimedes screw. So. Much. Stuff. GM was hyper involved right from the beginning and I was so grateful because I would have given up maybe two rooms in otherwise and I think there were five. Absolutely amazing experience. They were giving away all the shirts / hats / passports / etc. type merch since they are closing up shop forever, so I got a baseball jersey that says Puzzlescape and a hat and a passport. I apparently have real Lore in wearing hats for things I don’t do any more, but kinda miss.
We went to the Horseshoe after and the spicy chicken ramen was really yummy. I would order it again, even tho I lost a chunk of the noodles to R. who did not care for her meat and potatoes order.
I had a long phone call with JC, which was delightful as always. She has her schedule! She starts this month!!!! Good luck to her in her educational adventure; I have high confidence she will be an absolute star.
I had a long phone cal with AY, also delightful as always. I learned a bit more about her employer, which was really interesting. I really should do a deep dive one of these days in the corporatization of medicine, and the tradeoffs associated with that, and how regulation interacts with it and is used by all parties to advance their own interests / protect themselves. Certainly it is wildly contentious and under-reported aspect of our society that ultimately affects everyone.
R. drove to Brooklyn for a show with BS (yeah, that jokes has been made before) and will return tomorrow, so B’s car is parked in our driveway. Lots of cars around here this weekend, since T. has moved back. It’s nice getting to see him more.
