PA - good call Kim!
Jake - you exposed me. I had mentally gotten them all but PA. Not sure what my three yellows had been Ventnor, Marvin Gardens and (obviously Atlantic)

Green spaces are for the weak. Low ROI.

So what’s the rent on pacific with one red hotel, three green houses, three gold toilets (brass nuts (as in nut and bolt)), and one tower (the tall brass bolts). Of course all the brass is hidden under the hotel for effect/surprise.

Monopoly extension rules - that’s what happened in the summer with weeks of time to fill and games that went on for days. Or just playing the same game over and over.

Six gold toilets fit in one hotel.
Didn’t the tower (bolt) need to be attached to the nut to stand up.
What about the 6 person simultaneous poker war game? Everyone flips over cards and then matches up for war, and makes bets. we carried around bags to our cards and chips to continue playing the next day.
Life before apps.
Cribbage with 6 people and dealing 6 cards each. Cribs of 12 cards that only Tommy could count. What’s a double triple double run worth? Loser team does dishes.

Yes Julianne you absolutely needed the nut to make the tower stand. Love that detail you have here. Feels like 6 toilets is about right. Want to fill hotel the rapidly flip over to make them stick. Count the cards in the run (how many) x 2 x 2 x 3 I think is the math on that. No idea who taught us that but it think it works. A double double is 3 x 2 x 2 = 12 plus pairs +2 + 2 = 16

Does chat on group me not count as trivia contributions?
There’s probably a math formula for that. Some choosing horrible stat kind of thing. Not sure my example was even legit.
Chinese poker - are twos high or low

Julianne that’s a trick question as we never had those....or at least not that I recall. Our legos for the most part predate all that custom star wars etc stuff. Just the basics.

Teaching Day 2 - post arctic blast

-
A teacher's institute day and a cold weather day with no classes and three weeks have passed.  It's probably a bit too much to expect kids to remember anything. So we started again. Boys are still squirrels and girls are quiet rule followers.  This is an after school activity; kids are a little wound up.  They still have to take turns, mind their business and be good classroom citizens.  Clearly, that's difficult.  Our class is 2nd graders to 6th graders.  We split into two groups.  I've got the little ones - 2nd and 3rd graders. They have trouble clicking in small spaces and finding letters on the keyboard. Today, the curriculum tried to introduce a looping construct (repeat a set of instructions over and over) and more debugging (here's a program; there's something wrong with it - fix it).  Tall order.  I can see some deficiencies with the program for little hands.  If they move some of the blocks too far out of the way, it behave...

Surprises on my final day

It's surprising to me that in only a couple hours, I've been able to learn so much about people that I've been interacting over the phone for the last three months. The view I had been able to build was so incomplete. A meal here, a short conversation there - suddenly these relationships go from being superficial and one-dimensional to much richer. People that I've been speaking with have families and lives outside of work (not really an earth shattering revelation, but I surprised at how much it matters). It is also surprising (to me) that my capacity and willingness to try new things has limits. At home, I am always pushing for, "Let's go out and eat Chinese, or Korean or Indian." I thought I was game for anything new any time (or all the time). I've found that after only a week, I'm actually hungering for something more familiar more what I'm used to. Aside - I'm actually thinking back to my lunch. I had a dish (Indian obviousl...

Teaching day 1

My kids are off at University and all my high school booster responsibilities are done.  I've downsized and I have some extra free time.  For years I've said that I would like to teach and a little opportunity to do just that came up.  I grabbed it. I've found a company run by a tech guy in his spare time that offers various after school STEM programs.  He's got loads of things he offers to schools / PTAs.  This group selected  an after school enrichment class in software coding.  The curriculum is self paced and drag & drop.  The essentially make programs out of virtual Lego blocks.  Today was the first day of class.  We're got kids from 1st grade to 6th grade.  There's 13 of them.   Some observations.  Second graders are different than 5th graders.  The little kids' fine motor skills are not as developed as the big kids.  Mouse pad movements was often done with their ...
