Dear Barbara,
I was at Caltech last week, as my son got admitted from the wait list, and I saw a t-shirt that said
“Mac for Productivity, Palm for Portability, Linux for Stability, and Windows for Solitaire.”
Geeky computer jokes aside, now you can play Solitaire online at any time (with or without Windows) because Surfnetkids just added fourteen free online solitaire games!

See ya on the Net,

After Britain’s expensive victory in the French and Indian War of 1754 – 1763, the crown decided to recoup some of the costs of defending the colonies by taxing the colonists. The colonists were outraged at the tax, but unlike their British counterparts, had no elected representatives in Parliament. “Taxation without representation is tyranny,” became a battle cry. Each year at this time, we celebrate the colonists’ victory and the birth of our nation. Happy Independence Day!
The American Revolution
http://www.theamericanrevolution.org/
Nicely organized into Battles, Important People, Historical Events, Historical Documents and a Timeline, this site has lots of concise American Revolution information for homework and school reports. Best clicks are transcripts of many primary source documents, such as George Washington’s first inaugural address and Patrick Henry’s famous “Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death” speech.
Loyalty or Liberty?
http://www.history.org/History/teaching/revolution/loyalty.html
It’s the summer of 1775, and you are a slave belonging to a staunch Loyalist. As you travel through this text-based role-playing game, you will gather secrets from both the Patriots and Loyalists. Your mission is to gather as much information as you can from both sides of the conflict, and to take a position. As a black slave, is it in your best interest to support the revolutionary ideas of the Patriots, or to back the King’s rule?
The History Place: American Revolution
http://www.historyplace.com/unitedstates/revolution/
This easy-to-peruse time line starts with the early explorers (“1000 A.D. – Leif Ericson, a Viking seaman, explores the east coast of North America and sights Newfoundland, establishing a short-lived settlement there.”) and continues to the early years of our new nation (“July 10, 1790 – The House of Representatives votes to locate the national capital on a ten square-mile site
along the Potomac, with President George Washington choosing the exact location.”) Don’t miss their Five Tips on writing a better history report.

Barb,
I was surfing for games for a family reunion and came across your site. It was very enjoyable of all the things I found and would like to share with other families that want good things for their children. It has been fun browsing through your site.
