@matthew_loftus We got the NIrV Study Bible for Kids when our eldest was 6 or 7, and we're pretty happy. Could quibble with a few things, but the main thing was to get him reading something he could understand on his own. The "study Bible" elements are pretty well done.

Anyone have an NIrV Bible for kids under 10 that they like?

Returning to Twitter for ~20 seconds simply to announce that we have christened our new robot vacuum "Vaktor Krumb". That is all.

Signing off until Easter. (So don't think I'm ignoring you if I don't reply!)

@MattAllenPNG @claysmith79 Each interstate's signage is based on its overall orientation and doesn't change. So on that one weird stretch in SW VA, a car going from Ohio to South Carolina (i.e. south) on I-77 is driving the same direction as a car going from Tennessee to New York (i.e. north) on I-81.

@claysmith79 The one that gets me is I-77 south and I-81 north are the same stretch. And vice versa. How did we get south and north on the same side? (Virginia) With the way we have whacky roundabouts, couldn’t we just rename those stretches to both be north?

@matthew_loftus Gollum always kills my voice. The end of Two Towers where you have to do a bunch of him and *then* two different orcs is particularly rough. I take a page from Andy Serkis' book - ginger tea with lemon and honey.

Reading Lord of the Rings aloud to my kids and man, those chapters where you have to do the voices for two *different* orcs are brutal.

Sorcerer, 1996 Particularly devastating because I was such a fantasy geek. And I still second-guess its spelling to this day.

@KellyNicholas Though it's a lot less common with today's predominantly Gen X parents than it was with the Boomers.

@KellyNicholas Five years later, and I still occasionally speak to someone who clearly hasn't read this tweet.

@mattmoment My private tradition of almost two decades is to read this just after midnight every Christmas. (Though with kids now, I should probably go to bed earlier and get up with them at 5 a.m. to read it right before the sun pillows his chin upon an orient wave.)

Hymns that can (nearly) be sung to the tune of Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You": Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus Come Thou Fount Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken Love Divine, All Loves Excelling Jesus, What a Friend for Sinners

"Rogers: The Musical" is the single best thing to came out of Hawkeye. Like, if the MCU were real that would absolutely be a thing.

@ZFunkYeah ALSO Ralph Mowen is STILL the mayor of Ephrata? He was mayor when we moved in '93, so that's... 28 years incumbency and counting?

@ZFunkYeah Also, the news article is just peak Lancaster County... local resident notices these shots being used (presumably for some time already?)... mayor confirms that it is, in fact, Ephrata (because no one else has that authority, I guess?)

The town I grew up in was used as an establishing shot for some Hallmark Xmas movies so of course I had to write Ephrata centric movie pitches
