In the words of one of my brother's Grade 8 classmates, my two siblings "cleaned the floor" at the annual Awards Night this evening -- I'm so proud of these kids! Especially of the little bro; the little sister's been a bit of an overachiever this year, but she seriously works too hard. The brother, on the other hand, watches TV, has a Neopet, plays his share of PS2 and practices piano/sax/french/etc. once a week.

I think I used to be like that. Am I still like that?

And following all those happy words about giving back, the value of work and of virtue, I had a strange thought about Civ III. It's much, much easier to conquer one's way to an empire than to try to build a nation on the backs of happy citizens, isn't it?
