conulyis 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!

Ah, Xanth. I read precisely one, noticed Weird Vibes, and didn't read more.

Similar situation for a ridiculous number of Babysitters Club and Sweet Valley High books. I knew they were trash, but they were around and mildly amusing, and we didn't have TV.
