O.k., I've become one of those people who starts a Live Journal and then just forgets about it later. Sorry.
Tiggy and K2 seem to be bonding. When anyone else goes near Tiggy he hisses and tries to head butt them with his forehead spines. But he is fine with K2 picking him up and carrying him around. K1 ["the champ"] is babysitting Sonic while Sonic's person is on a secret cross-border mission to liberate more of Tiggy and Sonic's relations. Sonic was depressed last time K1 babysat and hid in a Puffs box most of the time. This time he is exploring the upper levels and working out in the gym some.
We discovered recently that homeschool kids cannot work in Michigan before the age of 18, except in those few jobs that have child labor statutory exemptions, or in under-the-table cash employment. Under Michigan law only kids in accredited public and non-public schools can get a child labor permit. K1 is working the under-the-table cash angle fairly effectively, to the point of having figured out a scheme to work under the table for a large publicly traded corporation.
I'm out of the disc golf tournament running business in Michigan. I'm hoping to have more time to sell discs and dye discs. I got into J's workshop today and learned a little more about what he is doing. The Lizard told me that if J knew what I was doing, he probably would have found a way to keep me away from the meeting.
The MDGO is dead but they are moving on with a Zombie Undead Series. Pluister is running a couple of events and so is the space alien controlled group. Assuming they come to terms. Basically the Lizard is doing Jedi mind tricks and I think the whole thing will unraval as soon as they are out of his psionic range.
The Lizard took several opportunities to excorriate me for getting out of the business. He even tried flattery, complimenting me on running some very cool and unique events over the years. But, his Jedi mind tricks do not work on me when I'm paying attention. At one point he said, "Come on, this is not a RICO violation we got going here." And I said, "Yeah, or else I would not be walking away." At the very end when I was walking away he said, "So, what we did here before the meeting. You committed a misdemeanor then." I reminded him that I did not participate. He said, "So are you and the girls not playing tournaments any more?" And I said, "It just is not part of our lifestyle to casually commit misdemeanor criminal violations."
