Miscellaneous 2023

Written by:

This month marks four years since we moved to Inuvik.

Here’s some more assorted northern stuff from 2023 (so far) that doesn’t fit into its own blog post:

We skied from Airport Lake back to town
My work had a booth at this year’s “Science Rendezvous” event
We ran the third year of our annual ski orienteering event at the ski club
Inuvik’s new wind turbine is slowly getting built
We ran in the annual Midnight Sun Fun Run

LARP

Written by:

Maciek and I organized a LARP (live-action role playing game) for that running group we have in town.

All good quests start at a dark and dingy tavern…

And then our adventurers were off!
First, they had to fight some ninjas.
Then convince the hermit to tell them his secrets.
Then fight a werewolf to gain a magic sword.
And go shopping at the local village.
(some of the potions available for sale)
Before getting a final clue from a raven
(and having to cross an unplanned swamp due to spring flooding)
Before finally arriving to fight the Necromancer.

Maciek is a Canadian!

After years of COVID-related delays, Maciek finally got his Canadian citizenship! We threw him a big party with a poutine bar and a Caesar bar and lots of other Canadiana. The attendees all took an online citizenship test, which the vast majority of people failed.

A couple of days later was his birthday, so I made a playable Blokus cake.
