    That "uh oh" is currently my notification sound on my phone... So whenever a new text comes in, that's what plays.

    Avalon was the first game that came to mind. I've only played it a few times, but each time was extremely fun. Under 5 players it's ok, but really takes off with 5 or more.

    One of the ways I discover new music is using an artist or band that I really like and Google any collaborations they've done. Then search for those guys. Rinse and repeat. Also while I know everyone has they're favorite style, I always try and listen to completely different styles and try to find a band that I like, and then do then above.
    Also I use Amazon Music, and by picking an artist and requesting a station of that artist, it will play somewhat similar styles, and sometimes something that is completely different.

    While I really enjoy 70s, 80s classic Rock, using the above methods, somehow got me to some bluegrass, southern soul Rock and stuff that I've really been enjoying.

    Some to consider

    Andrew Duhon - anything from his album The Moorings

    Steep Canyon Rangers -- highly recommend anything where Steve Martin is NOT singing. The song Sweet Spot is a good place to start.

    Dead South -- I really like their song In Hell I'll Be In Good Company

    I've listened to a few off those and, yes, quite good. It gave me the feel of a Reading Rainbow for adults.

    Wow! That's awesome! Its definitely one that I would jump at the chance to try. How does it compare to St Bernardus Abt 12? I have always heard it similar.

    Port Salut is my go to. Mild cheese with a slight tang... Consistency of Velveeta (but that's all it has in common). Perfect accompaniment to grapes and a glass of wine.
