Good Days and Goodbye

Dominic (and Rowan too) have both had good days the last few days at pre-school. Very nice not to come home to bad news - Rowan even met me at the door and told me what a good day Dominic had.

Ginger - his assigned teacher from the early childhood center - observed Dominic and seemed to get along with him very well. I think it is even more important that he gets along with the teachers at his pre-school. We have a meeting next Wed morning to setup his IEP.

On a personal note, Gary Gygax passed away this week. He "invented" role-playing games (along with some friends), and pretty much was the biggest influence on my adolescent years. I still play the latest incarnation of D&D nearly every week. And the friends I've made are my friends for life. Mr. Gygax invented something new - something that lasted, and his creation has influenced millions - positively. How many people can you say that about.

I saw him in person once, but didn't thank him. Now I wont get the chance. In place of thanks all I can do is spread the word. Tell good stories. Tell them with friends. Have Fun.
