Running Minecraft on a Mac SE
Facebook Marketplace is filled with civilization's cream of the crop, including this guy Logan who was upset at my lack of a direct answer when he wanted to know if my 1980s Mac SE would run Minecraft. Dude.

What About Fraternal Conjoined Twins?
At work we discussed the human object model, data structures, concepts, etc. My mind kept drifting: was our model adequate to support fraternal conjoined twins? When the boss asked for feedback, I was powerless to remain silent. Apparently, not all edge cases need to be addressed at this stage.
Existential Homeschooling Crisis
J dusted off and charged her kid camera to join in on the latest camera craze in the Jones household. J has requested that we do a "daddy-daughter walk where we can take pictures together." I mean, who could say "no" to something like that? But, evening was upon us, so it has to wait for tomorrow.

I Don't Like Other People's Kids
Breakfast, mandarin, math, literature, Easy Peasy, lunch, meetings, swimming, dinner, a show and bedtime. What a day.
Dad, were dinosaurs alive 65 million years ago?
If Adam was created a grown man, did he have a belly button? Did the first trees, made full-grown, still have rings? A backseat question about dinosaurs opens an old puzzle: what is the difference between something truly ancient and something created to look that way?
For a Successful Road Trip, Keep Your Kids Mildly Dehydrated
Strategic dehydration, a wife carrying the week with a smile, a 9th-place run dodging two broken ankles, a bedtime chat over who can be an Elder, and a boy racing back outside to dance in the rain -- oh my.
