Going to follow up on all the good feedback I received yesterday in regards to “shops for a teacher.” If you see some big nerd underdressed for the weather and a big smile on his face, say hey

Thank you, dearly. For your knowledge, I’m handling both a visit with mom in the hospital while also thinking about what can help facilitate conversation back home.
Some of my favorite previously purchased products are as follows, with some changes due to present availability:
Eeboo story cards (not necessarily sequenced)
What do I do? / What’s going on here? cards
Purchase at World of Mirth or somewhere similar four years ago
I picked up the What up, Adam? question card expansion at World of Mirth last Friday
And make liberal use of Story Corps question batteries, some applications of Storymatic’s cards but “played” like a variation of Apples to Apples or Once upon a time, and for out and out word games (not conversations) I love Wavelength and Codenames. It can’t be “on rails,” so while I appreciate the ideas behind CAH it’s not as generative as Apples to Apples simple or “lawyer” rules, such as the poison apple variant

Thinking today might be the day to walk all over creation while the decorations are still up and the weather is nice.

In the Richmond for Xmas for the first time in 33 years; spending it with four generations of family and about 200 pounds of boxers (dogs not athletes) who sit on me whenever possible

Stony Point Ukrops represent. I can’t quite put my finger on it but it was just a wonderful shop. Loved the big pictures / murals. Pour one out for Safeway as well on that note.

Oh man, Jean-Jacques? That’s one of the few places I COULD remember; terrible news.

Thank you, this was a wonderful review and it’s exactly the info I couldn’t really discern by googling.

It might be! I’m literally pulling out memories from, at latest, September 1989. Checking now, but yes it was a coffee shop.

This is bizarrely helpful. I’d cross for one side to the other for a single, brilliant purpose - look at the Kite Store and it’s weird wind-up European bird toys
