... no, I didn't go to Hawaii. Sorry. I just got a bit busy with work, and academics, and academics, and work.
I'd like to rejoin the fun with a quick news story from up friends up north - the good people of New York City! Back in October, a group of men were arrested in a playground in NYC for playing chess in a park. Their crime? They were unaccompanied by a minor.
Two of the men have since had the charges dropped, three have received a slap on the wrist in exchange for an admission of guilt, and the remaining two are fighting it all the way to city hall.
I suppose I understand the logic of the no-solo-adults rule - playgrounds are supposed to be for kids, after all - but I'm surprised that it was enforced in this way. Will it be enforced again, I wonder?
