I turn 39 years old next month. The next year, 40 years old. I always tell my wife there’s no reason to celebrate my birthday unless there’s a ‘5’ or a ‘0’ after the number. I feel those are the birthdays to celebrate because it’s a good span to reflect and celebrate living that long.

Recently I read a book that made me fall in love with video games all over again. Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin. While it was originally published in 2022, I read it a few months back and fell deeply in love with it.
