The only reason

we go to parent teacher conferences is to hear other adults confirm what we already know to be true:  our children are brilliant and delightful to be around.

I often forget to lay it on thick for the parents of delightful children in my parent-teacher conferences. I need to remember to do that because it is one of the most delightful aspects of being the parent of high achieving children.

We're Adventurers! Let's Run From the Adventure!

So I've been running D&D sessions for the high school's strategy gaming club. I took over DM duties when people started playing the whole, "I won't come to the session is so-and-so is DM'ing," and "I don't even want to come if I can't be the DM," thing.

I guess the concept of American democracy was fun while it lasted.
