Math curse: dominos
Thomas (my 15-year-old) and I played dominos this morning, best two out of three. He whupped me both times.
It's a game we used to play a lot when he was little. We still play it frequently when we're on vacation in New Hampshire, only there we have a fancy set where the numbers go up to 12 on each half. It's a great game for practicing addition when you're just getting going on it in school.
Now, of course, he's much better than me at math. He'll be taking calculus next year, in tenth grade. (I didn't take it until my freshman year of college). I'm about to start to be glad that it's been years since he's asked for help on his math homework.
Sorry to be a sluggard the last couple of days about contributing. Friday got busy, then I spent a large chunk of yesterday dealing with the fallout from the power surge that killed our TV, DVD player, the kids' X-box, and our home phone/answering machine. All this "stuff" that I don't really need! Was just settling in to take some photos (and then start on dinner) last night when all our electricity went out. (Again).
