Well, it'll probably be morning when you see this,so: good morning:) We got our 13yo a long needed new bike, and seeing him enjoy the freedom it gives him brings me so much joy. Also, I convinced my husband to start rowing again, and going out with him in a double is just awesome.

I like the blue-sky community much more, but the people I need to recruit for the project mostly seem to hang out on LinkedIn.

Yes, it moved 10 years ago. Can't believe it's been that long. My new project has its own website πŸ’Ύ cas.au.dk/en/erc-webch... I've been guilty of mostly posting about it on LinkedIn 😬

Yes, Sesame Street has long been a stand-in for PBS even after it moved to HBO/MAX in 2015. As a historian who now has a big new project on Internet history, I keep a lot of files these days...!

You are so very welcome. Role-playing might be one of my favourite things even if I don't get to play a lot. Was so happy when my kid picked it up. And I'm so proud that he now arranges to play with friends almost all weekends:)

You could look for a games shops nearby, they usually have something for kids. We easily found one in Toronto the summer we were there just by goggling. Same here in Aarhus. Also, this Swedish system has a single player option and it is beautiful freeleaguepublishing.com/games/dragon...
