My boys are currently sitting around the table “worldbuilding.” They are drawing fantastic maps and alien races and developing their end-of-the-world scenarios where the inevitable “Chosen One” will need to arise to save the world from utter destruction. Meanwhile I’m sitting here looking across my windows at the sixteen pictures my kids and I hung ..read more
