One persistant source of irritation about my childhood reading habits

is that I'm well aware that there are several concepts I was introduced to from the Xanth novels. Not like that, things like reciprocity in game theory proving that cooperation is generally a better strategy overall. Nice to have proof of that sort of thing, it really is, but....

Oh, in other news, the kids handled Halloween for me. I never bought candy because I was sick, and even not knowing it was covid I wasn't willing to get others sick with a cold, and I meant to order candy but that didn't happen because I was too sick to make it happen, and certainly once I knew it was covid I wouldn't hand out candy either, but the kids did all of it. Good for them!
