Today Holly and I (and Vincent King, another homeschooler friend) all spent
the day at Sandia Prep, a private school here, where I played etymology games
and told stories to my friend Mo Palmer's 7th grade history classes. Holly
just love to observe school kids. They had new desks and she got to sit in
one. Vincent's dad wants him to go to school next year, and this is his school
of choice. He's already done the formal all-day visitation, and I thought
he might like to spend another day there.

Holly came home and played Halo II for a few hours and just had this IM
exchange which really made her yell for me in the next room, and I went and got
her dad too. She's thrilled:

BlazingOranges: hey
HiperSpaz232: u play halo well this is Moto Mac do u rember?
BlazingOranges: oh yeah, i 'member
HiperSpaz232: well i was looking at gamertag pics and u were one of scotts
friend and u live in the same town as me
BlazingOranges: really?
HiperSpaz232: yeah
HiperSpaz232: what school do u go to
BlazingOranges: actually I'm homeschooled
HiperSpaz232: omg did u go to my school today?
BlazingOranges: kind of
BlazingOranges: o mean maybe?
HiperSpaz232: ok
HiperSpaz232: lol
HiperSpaz232: well sandia prep?
BlazingOranges: yes! omg
HiperSpaz232: omg

HiperSpaz232: ?
BlazingOranges: yeah
HiperSpaz232: yeah i was in there in activity when we were watching
frankenstien
BlazingOranges: oh my god! that is so cool

So...
While it's great that Holly's played with kids from New Zealand and England
and all over north America, this is even more impressive, statistically
speaking. <g> She's played with this girls several times before.
