It’s Been Quite a Year!
I had know idea that this year would turn out this way.
February- We went to the Unschool Winter Waterpark Gathering in Sandusky, OH and had a blast hanging around with friends.
May/June- I went on a 3 week, around the world business trip with stops in London, Cape Town, Johannesburg and Sydney.
August- My son and I spent 4 days at GenCon Indy playing card games, making boffers, trying out new video games and just generally having fun.
September - Two more weeks abroad, back to Cape Town and Johannesburg this time and got to sit in a safari truck on a road surrounded by 20-25 wild elephants in Kruger National Park. Found out I’ll likely be making trips to New Zealand and Thailand next year as well.
October - Another week of vacation. This time the Beach Unschool Gathering outside of Charleston, SC. Got back together with lots of other unschool dads who all seem to work from home full-time (not fair!).
November- Won my first card game tournament for World of Warcraft TCG that my son and I have been playing for the last year.
In other news:
- My brother finally made it home from his work assignment in Beijing
- My in-laws are 99% positive they are retiring next year and wanting us to plan moving to SC with them in a couple of years
- I started up a small website to sell cards from our game
- My son performed in 3 musicals this year: Narnia, Oliver and Annie
- I signed up to tutor online at eduFire
- Our neighborhood association president passed away unexpectedly from a high fever after years of battling lupus
- Our neighborhood was also voted the #1 place to live by the Riverfront Times this year as well.
Not sure how we managed to fit all that stuff in this year, but we did.
