20/20

Kids are a constant source of both imagination and entertainment. My oldest daughter made up a game. Now all kids make up games so this in and of it self is nothing out of the ordinary.  But she loves math and at 8 years old is excelling in it.

Last night I got to play her game. She had taken and make about 30 cards with numbers ranging from 0-10 there was only one 0 and one ten but the rest was pretty random. She handed us all 3 cards and explained the rules. all 3 cards have to add up to 20. You may take from the top of the new pile or from the discard pile. when you discard you place it fase down so no one can see what it is. you also discard before you draw. a game of sheer luck and chance. but it got my youngest to trying to add things. very sweet indeed.

A place to throw words

As a person who both loves his family and gaming, finding a balance (One that leans torwards family more then Gaming) can be hard. Priority’s are what people call them. We list them, show them. Even at times Brag about them. We are eager to show how we follow them when we do and toss under the carpet the times we do not in hopes that the guest will not walk on that part of the floor.

When my children are grown, I want them to say I was there for them. But as all people are they also want a bit of life out side of kids. At no point would I say that I do not want kids. As long as I can remember post teenager, I have wanted a family. Married at 23 first kid at 27. I meet my wife in high school. Many people say that high school romances never last. 12 years later it is lasting perty well. We are not the norm but we work and are happy.

Life is not a road to be flowed, or a trail to be blazed. Every moment becomes history. not all history is remembered. But live today so that tomorrow you can remember it with the thought, I did that and would again.
