We went tramping around in the woods by my house today, which I really needed, and I didn't even get any ticks!

(The process did put pandemic in perspective - to leave the house for anywhere other than pavement or manicured lawn around here from about May to October, you need to make sure all of your skin except possibly your hands and face are covered, tuck your pants into your socks, wear eye protection, spray yourself with protective chemicals, constantly keep an eye out for the contact poisons that are everywhere, come home, immediately drop your clothes into the wash, and don't touch anything before you shower very carefully with soap every and check your skin for parasites, and then monitor yourself carefully for symptoms in case you missed something. It's. A lot. We take it for granted.)

Anyway, who wants to play some party games for my birthday? I have this 1887 book of Parlor Games and I think some of them would work as comment threads! I'm going to try to start a few and see.
