Perfect sunday...

First choose a composer. We've been studying Beethoven, but this morning, it was Mozart. Put the CD on the stereo and start the music.

Next, set up a game of Great Composers and spend the morning running all over Europe (and all through time) learning tidbits about the lives of the best composers of Western culture.

Finally, stomp Mamma on *both* elements of winning the game by getting twice as many era cards and three extra composers.

Next, after stomping Mamma's butt, explain to her how easy the game is to win -- but don't explain how, just gloat.

Mamma thinks maybe it's time to take this game to the next level. The rule book is encyclopedic and we've been playing it with the most basic rules so far. Maybe it's time to move on up!

(On the other hand, it's nice to hear him identifying composers and talking so blithely about their lives and personalities.)
