Homeschooling

I've been pretty busy lately, so I've been pretty light on posting.
My wife and I are homeschooling our son Lucas, and that take up the majority of my time in the morning. He's "going" to the Washington Virtual Acadamy this year. This has been an experience for both of us. I'm fairly certain he's been learning more already this year than he has in past years, and it hasn't quite been a full month yet.
There's considerably less social interaction for him this way, which is both a good and a not-so-good thing. He's not being bullied in school, and nobody is there to discourage him from doing well. That's the plus side. The minus side is that he's got fewer friends around for support.
Fortunately though, we do have neighbors with kids. He's also in a group called DeMolay. There's plenty of social interaction there, and he's enjoying it.
Anyway, with homeschooling Lucas, I have to go to work a bit later in the day. That means I get home a bit later in the evening too. I generally haven't been using the computer after I get home, except briefly, long enough to put up the open trackbacks posts.
