Finally set up our Dark Tower board game and played it with my wife, each of us playing as two people to test how long a 4-person game would last in preparation for taking it around to friends next week. Lots of nostalgic fun although a very random game with not much in the way of strategy you might expect from more modern games. Great for something made in 1981, though.

I’m currently trying to read the first #darktower by #stephenking. By “trying,” I mean I keep forgetting to pick it up and wondering why it reads like a 20-year-old trying to be edgy. Then I realize it actually was written by a twenty-something King.
In the foreword, King himself even warns the reader that this isn’t something he would write the same way today.
So now I’m wondering whether I should just skip to another Dark Tower book or switch to a completely different King novel.

TRIPOD WALKER (2016)
 Acrylic on Watercolor Paper - 19" x 13"  

Painted on the back of a misprinted Dark Tower image I was using as a mixing palette of mostly white, yellow ocher, and raw umber. The print is on such a fine grade of heavyweight watercolor paper that I was loathe to throw it away. 1/3
