Time Suck

I hate passing up opportunities to waste time and here's a good one. First kid introduced me to this. It has all kinds of fun quizzes and challenges you can take, which help with the delusion that you're not REALLY squandering your life away, you're learning. Screw the laundry and the weeding of the garden. Delay the workout.

First kid informed me that he now knows 82% of world capitals. Impressive. He also devoted a fair amount of time this summer to solving this blast from the near past. His best time is 4 minutes.

I've taught him well.
