Geol111: Geo Journal Week 01

I feel like this week, I am doing this journal a disservice. Colorado has plenty of Geology around it, but by the time I got around to writing this, it was already dark and I was unable to take some pictures of my own. Poor planning strikes again.

Quest RPG Review

Nearly four years ago, when I moved to Colorado, I started a game of D&D for my family. When helping my sister (17yo) build a character, she asked “Can I play a Leaf Princess?” I did not have a good answer for her, so I said “D&D says no.” (well, it actually says ‘not without […]
