Tory’s school, Trillium Charter School, recently banned all handheld games. While this, in and of itself, is in no way unusual, how it came about is. Durring a recent all-school meeting, one of the second graders proposed the banning of these toys. The student body debated this proposal, with impassioned speaches for and against the ban. The body then voted and, by a narrow margin, banned them. Color me impressed.

Today Tory informed us that she has a boyfriend. More amusing than anything. Regardless, she pointed out that maybe someday he would marry this boy, Kai. Previously the had asserted thatnshe would marry her cousin Thallia, so I asked about that plan. “Maybe I will marry one of them, get a divorce, and marry the other.” I guess it is nice she has a plan.

I don’t know what you are talking about, and whatever you are talking about, I don’t know where it is.
