TIL our book club hit 50 meetings without me noticing
I was looking back at our group chat history last night and counted. We've been meeting every other week for almost 2 years now. That's 50 discussions about books I never would have picked up on my own. I used to think book clubs were just for people who wanted wine nights but I've actually changed my mind on a lot of books because of the conversations. Has anyone else hit a milestone like this and it made you realize the group mattered more than you thought?

My buddy Mike hit 40 sessions with his D&D group before he realized they'd been meeting for over three years. He told me it wasn't until someone mentioned the anniversary that he thought about how much those Friday nights actually helped him through a rough divorce. Said the dice rolls and fake battles mattered way less than having the same people show up every time.

Man, that's real. It's wild how something like rolling dice and making up voices can become the thing that holds your life together without you even noticing. That kind of steady group is a rare find, especially when everything else is falling apart. I bet Mike's dice are ugly now from all the use, but he probably treasures that worn-down set more than anything fancy. Consistency like that is its own kind of magic, you know?
