The cozy joy of doing the setup badly at first for absolute beginners

The detail that surprised me was how much a neighborhood park changed the outcome. Same plan, different setting, completely different energy.

I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.

I wish more posts had this much context. The Warsaw example makes it feel concrete. This is why house rules need a constitution.
