as they are in soccer. So what s a parent to do with a kid who'd
rather solder than run laps? How can parents really keep geeky
kids entertained, without spending yet another afternoon in
front of the glowing rectangle of a TV or computer monitor?

13 Quotes: Will Rogers' humor
There's no trick to being a humorist when you have
the whole government working for you.
The income tax has made more liars out of the
American people than golf has.
The more you read and observe about this Politics thing,
you got to admit that each party is worse than the other.
The one that's out always looks the best.
We can't all be heroes because somebody has to sit
on the curb and clap as they go by.
