First of all, my apologies for not posting much recently. But my dad passed away suddenly on Valentine's Day, and the funeral is next Monday. So my brain has naturally been elsewhere.
Name that Blog ...
I promised to reveal the origin of this blog's name Grupo de Uno. The phrase in Spanish is a translation of the English phrase "A Group of One."
The line is from David Bowie's song "Teenage Wildlife" on the Scary Monsters album:
You'll take me aside and say
"Well, David, what shall I do? They wait for me in the hallway"
I'll say, "Don't ask me, I don't know any hallways"
But they move in numbers, and they've got me in a corner
I feel like a group of one, no, no, they can't do this to me
I'm not some piece of teenage wildlife ...
In context, I found the phrase striking ... as many of the lyrics are on this song. But during COVID-19, it took on added meaning, since I couldn't very well play games in-person with others. I had thought to take up some solo gaming then, and well ... you can see where this train of thought leads.
No one replied to the challenge, so there are no No-Prizes to give out. Which is OK!
