Clark,

The game from my list that you should check out is “Satisfactory”. Think of Minecraft or Terraria but with industry/engineering upgrades.

I’m jealous that you have a weekly game group. I am lucky if we meet monthly.

Brigette,

I know…Covid got three of my favorites, too: Magokoro, T&T gas mart (cheap Vietnamese), and Taco Fundacion.

Nooo, not spam masubi, you weirdo. (Just playing.) I still haven’t tried Kimo’s, so you win. I only eat beef or pork if it’s a special occasion, so I rarely eat Hawaiian anymore. But I grew up as a surfer and would visit Kauai and used to love the food back then.

Have you tried Nagomi up on Juan Tabo? Good curry and katsu at good prices.

[jsalbato@cnm.edu]

Ruth! Yes…I can’t believe I haven’t tried this place yet. Totally my kind of joint. Thanks so much.

Great recommendation! The other books that you would probably like if you liked “Nausea” would be Dostoevsky’s “Notes from Underground” (it’s pretty short, like “Nausea”) and Camus’ “The Plague” (It’s pretty long, but it is a novel and a page turner).

Woohoo! If I had to choose, I would favor board games as well…I just don’t get to play them often enough.

Ticket to Ride and Codenames are great, and Phase 10 is solid…all three are in my collection. I’ve played the others but gave them away to make room for my growing collection.

If you are looking for a new games, based on your interests, you would probably love Pandemic, Quest for El Dorado, and Cubitos

Oooh, I’m a fan of sudoku as well. But, my latest, daily deduction game has become “Logic: Code Breaker”. I play it several times a day and obsess over my stats.

During Covid and the year after my wife and I used to wander up from Gallegos trailhead until we got lost and then just head West until we could find our way back to the trailhead. I hope we start that up again this year. One of my other hobbies is vegetarian cooking, and now you tell me I should combine the two. You are on another level! Very cool.

Sam! Great recommends! I still haven’t been to El Paisa, but, sadly, Le Bistro is great but is closed. I hope it’s temporary, but I can’t tell. That is so sad, because San Pedro is a food mecca…On that one street you have Coda, Alqud’s, Asian Pear, A1 market, El Mesquite, etc.

Everyone should read Fromm’s Sane Society, Epictetus’ Encheiridion, Chomsky’s What Uncle Sam Really Wants, Milgram’s Obedience to Authority, Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning, Holloway’s Godless Morality, …and hundreds of others…go read some books now!

(If you want a fuller list of book recommendations, click the “Propaganda” link in the header above and you’ll find a bunch of categorized lists of my favorite books.
Thanks, Jeff)

My nerdiest interests are philosophy, psychology, political theory, history, books, and languages. My geekiest interests are video games and board games.
