So imagine this. You enter the UN building and find a seat on the floor. You’re there to hear Thomas P. M. Barnett, author of “Blueprint for Action” speak. But it’s all virtual reality. You are there in Avatar form via a computer with the hardware for it. Thomas P. [...]

In the meanwhile, I try to teach H.o.p. about the earth’s yearly cycle. I’ve been telling him about it for several years and he’s been fed all the information through a number of enjoyable educational venues. Ms. Frizzle tells him about it. Astronomy disks tell him about it. He likes what [...]

Half a dozen cop cars and a dozen police have someone pinned down at one of the two side entrances to our building.
Marty met a couple of our neighbors in the other building, everyone piling out to see what was going on. No one knows. A little police activity brings the people together [...]

First, a distant relation in Kansas sent me this link with a Flash on How to carve a pumpkin like a pro. I knew there would be a punch line but I didn’t know what. H.o.p. came running up behind me, “What game is that?!” I told him, “How to carve a [...]
