Throughout school we’d heard things like “she’ll get over the hump,” (she’s going into 5th grade and we’ve heard this from every teacher since kindergarten), and “read more at home,” (we’ve required her to read for an hour after school since 2nd grade, it would be temporally impossible to read more, do her homework, and eat dinner before having to go to bed). She went to Sylvan, but despite having been told by the school she didn’t have a learning disability, I started doing some research on my own. When I looked at symptoms of dyslexia I could go right down the line, “Abby does that, and that, yep, that too.” Since school was out, there was nothing we could do there.

Finished season 3 of Bob's Burgers last night. This scene made me laugh way harder than it should have. The episode where Louise had her first crush was also pure gold. And when Tina had two boys fighting over her... Etc. What a great show.

Hand written. How nice. I like the personal touch. But sorry, Rachelle, it might surprise you, but I've actually heard of Jesus. And I know the answers to those questions already. They're pretty easy. Her address is cropped out. I'm tempted to mail her a copy of Basic D&D or something like that.

Some more camping pics. Selfie on the boat at 30mph as the beard majestically blows in the wind. And holding the screen tent up while a storm tries to blow it down. We'd been playing D&D 10 minutes earlier. Had to evacuate my books to my tent quickly.

Great idea. Originally shared by Matt Cruikshank David Brin, I think someone should have an Indiegogo campaign to "raise money to buy a GoPro for each of the 54 commissioned police officers in #ferguson ." $300 x 54 = $16,200.

Good thing I'm heading for the north woods tomorrow, where no wireless signal reaches. I don't think I could take these Gen Con posts otherwise. I'll be gaming around a campfire, as our caveman ancestors did.
This improves my day. I think I pledged for this almost two years ago to the day. 1st day of Gen Con 2012.

Suddenly, a buzzing ball of evil fell onto the table. A hornet had attacked a dragonfly. It quickly clipped off the dragonfly's head and proceeded to devour it. After watching for a minute, I crushed it and threw them both in campfire for a viking funeral. Because seriously. Screw hornets.
