Just finished a book, On The Map, about mapmaking. Fills my little dilettante map lover with glee. And the urge to purchase a more recent U.S. roadmap. Partially inspired by my navigation, without gps or maps, mere native geographic knowledge and that brought about by the protests, through south & west Baltimore. Never felt lost, honestly I wouldn't have made some necessary connections were it not for the marchers. I just don't drive that much. Or explore enough. But I knew how to get around.
And then I emerge from my reading to Ferguson exploding again. Brain too full.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Aww, thanks y'all. I need to keep in mind that they are just kids. Anyway today we had to go up to my son's school and found out who his teacher will be in 5th grade. He has the same teacher Franny had for 5th, and one of his best friends is in the class. Should be a good year for him. And we got Franny's schedule. It looks good too. We dodged the one really not good teacher that I was worried about.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Ryan asked me just last week how we knew he was ready to come out when he was still in his mummy's tummy. This is exactly what I told him happened. He seemed sceptical.

Coursera has sent me a list of recommended courses. One of them is Child Nutrition and Cooking. I don't know why they're so insistent that I should want to cook Ryan.
The University of Virginia is offering The Age of Jefferson. (272 last April. I'm not really sure there's a lot to be covered there.)

I expect his nutrition value will be in section one.
I'm working on developing Coursera courses now for a local university. It's kinda fun.

He's certainly got the wriggling part down pat.
Anyway, whenever I try to nom on him, he always tells me, "You can't eat me! I have bones!" He's got me there. My boy the vertebrate.

Nice.
