a sand box

I know this is absolutely one of the nerdiest posts that I have written, and to top it off I actually sat down with my two boys and watched a Stars Wars marathon, the entire time jotting down notes about what Yoda had said.  But I make no apologies, sometimes I think taking advice from fiction is the best thing we can do, because in fiction, unlike the real world, characters are who they should be and real life does not taint them.  At any rate it was a fun exercise.  Enjoy!

2. Wars not make one great.
