We took a family road trip from North Carolina up to Ontario this past week, and it went... really well? We braced ourselves for a hassle with driving an EV on a long trip, but it was only a minor issue once. The wife and kids were troopers whenever our plans blew up, and we always managed to find something fun to do.

I now have three weeks to convince my rising middle schooler that people not believing that she was a dragon in a past life doesn't mean that they're hostile. I'm trying to frame it as similar to a religious belief: you sincerely believe you had past animal lives, other people sincerely believe that they're going to a specific afterlife or are communicating with a god. You can still be friends, just be kind and respect each other!

Yes. It's gonna work. Everyone's gonna be cool.
