Sometimes, the idea in your head sputters on the turf.

Luckily, it was just practice. My mind drew up a box with two teams of eight, a 1v1 battle inside, passing out of the box. It looked lively in my mind, challenging, ever-changing, active. I split my squad up and put everyone in place.

The two girls in the middle immediately faced off.

Only, they didn’t know what to do next.

Guest Post: What’s Cookin’, by Rhonda of Laugh Quotes

Rhonda really gets around.

The world, that is. She writes a blog called Laugh Quotes by Rhonda Albom, which chronicles the adventures of an ex-pat family in New Zealand that has visited 47 countries and counting (exactly 44 more than I have.)

Marie would appreciate her post about the Starfish at King Tide, especially because she’s the kid with the mean parents who once wouldn’t let her keep a live starfish she found off the N.C. coast. (Any starfish recipes, Rhonda?)

Rhonda’s blog reads like something really cool on PBS or NPR.
