Birthday Dinner for Allison

Allisons Birthday Dinner
Photo-A-Day 2.0 – #00011

Tonight we took Allison out for her Birthday dinner. I had the night off and we went to the Eagle Brook Saloon. We’d been there for previous birthdays and have always had a good meal. Tonight was no exception. We had a great meal and a lot of fun as well.

We split an order of their buffalo wings and everyone had some. The kids love the wings at the Eagle Brook Saloon. I noticed that they had a Stuffie topped with scallops and bacon so Allison and I ordered that along with a White Buffalo pizza. I can’t say that I really care for a ranch based sauce but I did like the pizza overall. The scallops were excellent and such a cool touch to the Stuffie.

Before and After dinner we played a little game called Round Room Writing. It is simple. There is a 5 minute timer. Each person has a paper and pen. For five minutes you start writing a story. At the end of five minutes you pass your paper to the person next to you. Another five minutes and the second person continues the story. We did this 4 times so each story had a part from each of us. When we were all finished we read the stories aloud and laughed like crazy at the silliness of the story and sometimes at my handwriting.

It was a really nice dinner and at the end we shared a cookie pie that was really tasty.

Built from Bricks and Brick Island 2.0

Built from Bricks 2.0
Photo-A-Day 2.0 – #00010

For the past two years I have been working with my buddy Briant from Built from Bricks on a LEGO themed YouTube channel called Built from Bricks. We have done a show almost weekly. We’ve done all sorts of things in that time and now we are embarking on a new adventure. Brian has built a table for this LEGO city, Brick Island and we are going to begin filming a series of Brick Island 2.0 videos. In these videos we will take about all aspects of building and maintaining a LEGO city. We’ve begun already and I hope that people will follow us for the coming year. We want to get to 5000 subscribers by 2020. I think that is a doable goal since we have such an interesting and high quality show.

The Built from Brick’s Goal is very much like my Photo A Day Goal. But it will take 15 years for me to reach mine of 5000 consecutive photos. That’s how time works. I hope that it does not take that long for us to attract 5,000 subscribers.
