Me: *sings* My name is Alexander Hamilton! Indy: Who’s that? Me: He’s one of the people who fought the Revolutionary War and helped start the United States of America. He built the banks. Indy: *wide eyes* Revolutionary War? Me: Yes. You know how in 1916 in Ireland there was a revolution? The United States had one of those in 1776, a very long time ago. Indy: Did Ireland have any more revolutions? Me: Yes, in 1921. That’s when they obtained their independence from Britain, which is the same country that…

PokemonGo
Indy and I went on a Pokewalk this evening. Won the local gym back (at great cost, half our Pokemon fainted!).
