A vibrant promotional graphic for the Leeds Board Game Convention features a stylized owl with large eyes, perched above a blue die, set against a bright yellow background. The text highlights the event's name "LEEDS BGC" and includes details about the dates (25-26 July), location (Leeds, UK), and social media handle (@leedsbgc). In the lower right corner, a colorful game board with pieces is partially visible, emphasizing the tabletop gaming theme.

Secular anniversary of Mom's death today, from #ALS (#MND, #ELA, #SLA — same awful disease, same fatal outcome, different languages). I miss her. Miss the conversations we had, miss the ones we'll never have. Miss seeing her enjoy her grandchildren and seeing them enjoy being doted on by her. Lots to miss. And lots of great memories. Yesterday would have been Mom's and Dad's 70th wedding anniversary. She was tenacious and hung on for one last celebration.

Be kind, people. Share love.

Quite remarkable and inspiring to watch the video accompanying this story about the sheriff (the term for a local judge in Scotland) who is able to continue working despite motor neuron disease removing his ability to speak. The sheriff types his words into a computer, and a synthesised voice interacts with others in the courtroom.

Sadly another player diagnosed with MND.
I hope the rugby hierarchies in both codes are supporting research into MND and links to the game followed swiftly by safer playing protocols.

It was special seeing Neale Danaher along the boundary line, with both teams and fans showing their respect. Neale is a true inspiration — we should savour every moment we have with him.
