I’ve been terribly lax contributing here for their early years, but since these kids are parented by two ilxors, they are sort of your kids too. They are 13 and 10 now, and without grasping their full provenance, they decided to cover the Strokes.

Kim - that is so great! I wish I could get my boys to play together. They are a bit too arguey these days to make that happen.

Ha! Yes, it’s a real struggle. They both like very different things and were just playing over each other and, just tired of the racket I said either play something together, or take turns, and that little magic moment was the result. Time will tell if it ever happens again.

Owen has some real skills!

Ben has been toiling away for years making Geometry Dash levels, of varying levels of quality. Finally, this week, he got one rated (which means it will be seen by way more people), and he's already had thousands of people play it!
