Me making a funny face & posing with the tragically defeated cow puzzle.

Jess and I are lords of the puzzle. True story.

Starting a puzzle is like starting a harmless game of Jamunji. You must just keep playing until you’ve finished.

And, this wasn’t just any ordinary puzzle. This is an “Impossible,” borderless, Holstien puzzle with 5 EXTRA pieces. Jess and re-stumbled upon it while doing a little house clean up last weekend.

About 2 years ago, I had the distinct honor and pleasure of being the best man in the wedding of two of my greatest friends, Caleb and Amanda Olson. Their wedding was absolutely great, a morning wedding with a brunch reception. To keep with the fun, they wanted to have a pluthera of board games available for kids and guests after cake.

Caleb and I had gone to the Good Will store in Eau Claire and quite litterally bought every board game and puzzle they had. I have to say, there is nothing like the look on a cashier’s face when you haul a convoy of shoping carts full of board games up to the checkout.

A nice, under-utylized, perk of being the best man, is that you get to take extra games home with you. Fast forward 2 years during some weekend house cleaning …and wouldnt you know it, that puzzle from Good Will actually had all the pieces.

Have a great weekend and good luck puzzleing …you’ll need it.
