A gift that keeps on giving...............

Sipp riffs on gifts, kids, reading, Calvin and Hobbes, and a workable philosophy of life - all in 500 words or less.  Do go read it here.  Excerpt here:

"The vocabulary is quite challenging for a nine-year-old in C and H. We see him skip over to the computer and type a word into Google now and again when he's stumped. He gets it pronounced for him, too, which I was not aware you could do, but kids find what they need because they look everywhere for everything. You'd never find your car keys if they were on the roof of your house, because you'd never look there. You'd just look on top of your dresser over and over. A kid might start by looking on the roof.  Hey, you never know is a great way to go through life, even if it drills a lot of dry holes."
