I've told this story before but I was in a taxi once and my driver, learning I was a writer, complained his young kid only wanted comic books. I told him to encourage that, because that was the kid's door into reading and the rest would come in time. I think it helped that advice came from a writer.
It was hard to get my son to read until he picked up comic books. Comic adaptations of novels led to the novels themselves. Now he enjoys all kinds of books and his reading comprehension at school is above grade level. Reading is reading!

Was able to photograph this beauty for almost an hour tonight, completely cloudless and clear, this galaxy M101, is about 25 million light years from us guys. Pretty awesome for a 2 inch telescope!
BTW, this is the actual field of view through the scope.

The White House has kept the wire service from covering key events because it refuses to call the body of water between Mexico and Florida the Gulf of America, as the Trump administration prefers.

I'm sorry but it's time to talk to your kid about the Council of Nicaea
My kids have recently been on a big Moana kick. During a re-watch, my 6 year old asked what a demigod was, so I gave a brief explanation. At Sunday school this week, he asked the teacher if Jesus was a demigod, inadvertently relaunching a heresy the Catholic Church thought it beat centuries ago.

I would love to tell you about the times vaccines prevented me from getting sick, but every time it happens, I don’t notice. I just keep feeling well.
