We finished watching Season 1 of Stick tonight. We all enjoyed it a lot and thought it was a wonderful story and show. Looking forward to the next season.

Gemini Quantum Quest @ Breakout ND

We all stopped at Breakout ND today in Bismarck to do the Gemini Quantum Quest game. The game is a split-start so Mazie and Tyler went to one place and Tammy and I to another. After getting through the initial puzzles we joined forces and saved the space station with 11m 15s still on the clock! Room 82!

Nice way to start the day at Youngblood Coffee in Fargo, ND.
