Day 167: Movie Finale
Tonight we watched Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. I was prepared to dislike the movie, because it had gotten so many bad reviews. I liked it, though. Evil got its big, ugly ass kicked. Good things happened, and sad … Continue reading
Day 165: Decision Made
Our school system ultimately decided to offer a distance learning option that includes teachers. I hope it will turn out to be a good one, because we enrolled today. We are now committed to it for the remainder of this … Continue reading
