Was it in a semi-formalized work-driven discussion?
Wesley: We were fighting on opposite sides, but it was the same war. Fred: but you hated her…didn't you? Wesley: It's not always about holding hands.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I got them in 7th grade, wore them for two weeks, and didn't get them again till I was a sophomore in college. I get it. But I also know that NOT making him go get the exam is not on.
His mom and dad both wear glasses, and D is blind as a bat without them, so I think he does need them.
M is a little spoiled, but I think it does him no favors to let this trend continue. He's mostly a sweetheart, but I worry that he is a bit young for his age, emotionally. Which is understandable, but...letting it continue is not the way to go.

I remember having that same worry about my cousin when she was in junior high (she was still pretty clingy to her mom at 12 years old, which I thought was a bit strange). However, within four years, she was spending a full year abroad as an exchange student in Australia, and if she was still a bit young before she left, she came back completely different!

Coding and Sleeping
A weird thing about our kids is how little they've been into toys. We essentially stopped getting Leif any toys since he NEVER plays with them. Boxes, balls, sticks, tools he managed to get his hands on, sandbox, are more his things. He'd miss his computer though. Em isn't into toys either, but her books are a whole different matter.
Individually, they are both pretty good most of the time, but sibling conflict is a big issue.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
Giving people practice at handling stuff before the stakes get all "OMG!" is good. I was like that so growing up felt like getting thrown in the deep end. I swam okay, but sometimes I wish I'd gotten better-prepared, somehow.

Does anyone know anything about the accommodations at Yosemite?

I've stayed at a couple of spots.

That's one I've been to! I really liked it - sitting out on the balcony was very nice, bed was comfy. I think it has a shared bathroom down the hall situation, which was fine. The restaurant is great. Handy for the redwoods and there are trails that are right there if you don't feel like catching a shuttle, and the historical village is close by, I think, which is pretty cool - blacksmith demonstrations, wagon rides, etc. And, er, the golf course and pro shop is there. I find it weird that there's a golf course in Yosemite, but people seem to like it. You can catch a shuttle or, I guess, drive to the valley and other sites pretty easily. And it's all historic - Roosevelt stayed there, I think, that sort of thing.
