Random kid stuff
• All three kids got straight A's this year. I would have considered things to be going well if even one of three got straight A's. Of course I understand that grades do not measure everything of importance. While they each have some geeky characteristics, they also, for example, do sports, play muscial instruments or do cool artwork, socialize frequently with lots of friends, and don't engage in too much teenage mopey-ness. I am very very lucky.
• Camping with other families so that there are thirteen other kids ages 12-18 for your own three kids to swim, run, play cards & frisbee, build fires, eat s'mores, and generally hang out with, is a good thing.
• Hockey parents are more interesting people than soccer parents.
• Avoid out-of-town soccer tournaments.
