Dum Vivimus, Vivamus: Now, THAT'S a home economics class!

Now, THAT'S a home economics class!

My wife showed me a lesson plan she has penciled in to start on in a few weeks...20 days of Holiday Cookies!

Now...I'm not saying I'm excited for all of them. For instance, on day 2, the blog author says her Cornmeal Cookies (Paste di Meliga) ended up as chicken food. There are also a few days where the author does not offer non-gluten free alternatives. But, there are chocolate chip cookies, and soft ginger snaps.

I give this my home schooling stamp of approval.

"What did I want?

I wanted the hurtling moons of Barsoom. I wanted Storisende and Poictesme, and Holmes shaking me awake to tell me, "The games' afoot!" I wanted to float down the Mississippi on a raft and elude a mob in company with the Duke of Bilgewater and the Lost Dauphin. I wanted Prester John and Excalibur held by a moon-white arm out of a silent lake. I wanted to sail with Ulysses and with Tros of Samothrace and eat the lotus in a land that seemed always afternoon.

I wanted the feeling of romance and the sense of wonder I had known as a kid. I wanted the world to be what they had promised me it was going to be -- instead of the tawdry, lousy, fouled-up mess it is."
-- Glory Road, Robert Heinlein

Why?
