Ain't this town too small? Ain't the stakes too high? Don't it make your skin just crawl, watching those days fly by?

I came home from a (short) day at the office to find the boys almost exactly where I left them this morning, in the living room, in their pajamas (it's a sick day for them - them and 11% of the population of their elementary school) with a chess board in between them.

Seriously, it's like their cartoons of genius kids.

Gimme a break.
