I don’t know what to expect from Inata, but I’m disappointed when she leads me to a card game table. She invites my brothers over, and we all sit down. Inata: You have not truly experienced Batuu until you’ve learned to play Sabacc. Wade: Um, okay. I’ll take your word for it. Inata: It’s a…
Today is the day! I barely slept last night thinking about the trip to Batuu. We wake up early to pack and eat breakfast with Ma and Dad. Dray comes down the stairs last, and we can immediately see why. Sometime between bedtime last night and this morning, he dyed his hair bright green. Kai:…

After everyone is in bed, I walk around the house, securing the doors, moving the wet laundry over to the dryer, and ensuring everything is in place. As the man of the house, these are the things that I always feel the need to do – to make sure that the work is completed and…
We now say goodbye to Merlin ‘The Knight’ Brown and Jalisa ’The Voidcritter’ Wells-Brown (BDC | ATC | Banks Day 18.3 – Day 58.3 & 65.3). Theirs was a love story reminiscent of a fairy tale. They met during the 28 Blind Dates Challenge and fell in love without ever seeing one another. After the…
