I went to the Barcade in New Haven today and played a few games with a.friend.

Q-Bert is much harder than remember. Tapper is a lot of fun but very frustrating. The old racing game I had to get used to.

And they have pinball now which is awesome. Revenge from Mars is not nearly as good as Attack From Mars. It was also awesome to get a free game on Addams Family.

It was also very cool to hear the Sanctum mentioned. I wish it was open more than just Monday. Mondays are very tough for me.

And of course Tetris was great too.

I slept in today and got up late. When I checked around noon there was a decent amount of snow outside and the roads were pretty messy.

When I checked again a few hours later most everything melted and the roads and sidewalk were clear.

I was a big fan of this. I especially liked not having to shovel at all. It allowed me to have a most lazy day.

I’ve been good at being alone. I like it.

I even do things like going to amusement parks alone. Going to the zoo by myself with some books is one of my favorite things.

And going to the movies by yourself is no big deal. After all you shouldn’t talk during the movie anyway.

And I do play games against myself. It’s a good way to learn the rules.

It is weird though having my wife away for a week. She does so many things.

But, maybe I can use some armchair time with the cats and the DVR.

I definitely needed to crash today

So it goes…

Ok, not really. I could use Uber or a taxi. I could try to figure out the bus to New Haven. I could even go to New York via the Waterbury connector on Metro North.

But, we have one car and my wife went up to Maine this week for family reasons.

So, it’s weird.

But, I am good at being alone. I’m glad my wife is there for her family.

I have a comfortable chair. I have provisions. I have delivery.

So I will get through it. Also downtown Ansonia isn’t that far away.

But, it’s crazy how much we rely on cars. Incredibly expensive too. And so much land used for parking.

So it goes.

I just saw that the very good “Black Panther” has now made a billion dollars at the box office.

I hope this leads to other big films dominated by black people. And with very strong female roles.  It’s a long, long time coming.
