That is all pretty exciting. Do you sleep?
As for the beggars, I bet more than a few of them are not only US citizens, but veterans or former civil servants of some type. Sad.
I wish I could've had activities this cool when I was in middle school / high school. Sounds like a blast for the kids!
I'm sleeping way more this year than last year due to more delegation and re-using stuff from last year. It's nice.
