Well, we’re waiting for Katie’s final grades for the fall semester while enjoying winter break for both of us. We had Sam home for the first half of our breaks with us, but unfortunately working for a school isn’t quite…
School Update
School is going along fine. In fact, another semester is almost done for me, and Katie’s almost at the end of her semester, too. She’s kicking ass and taking names. Now that she’s settled academically, she’s stretching out into some…
Homeschool to high school update
I haven’t mentioned how Katie is doing in school in a while. While there have been some adjustment issues switching over to “school” from homeschooling, she’s got all As. The “life by the bell” thing has been a nuisance, and…
Need input: Temporary purple hair dye

But does anybody else think it’s just a bit tacky for my mother to want me to come over and celebrate my father and brother’s birthdays when I can’t even remember how many years it’s been since they’ve celebrated mine…
Dragon Con, Weekend Planning, and Back to School
I won’t be going to Dragon Con unless a ticket (or pass—hey, I’m willing to do panels, ya know) falls out of the air. Sam will be running games and the girl will be working the con, so they both…
