Jude and Tom (Randy4U),

I love you guys, but I think you're looking at it wrong. I thought Marc Savoy was very cordial, and I feel very blessed that he invited us into his workshop. He gave a very informative and entertaining talk, and was very nice to everyone. He was also very polite when he declined to play, and didn't make a big deal of it. I think it's good for kids to not get everything they want. My daughter loved the experience, and never commented about him not playing. No big deal.

Even though there are many things we can do to encourage our kids, why is it Marc's responsibility to do them? Wasn't it enough to invite us into his workshop, which I'm betting very few people ever get the privilege of seeing, and give a very informative and cordial talk?

I might also add that he thoughtfully answered all your many questions, Tom (and mine), even though it was the kids that he actually invited in - and you were wearing a big fat Martin shirt to boot!

So ease up, guys. I think the glass was 95% full, and again, I feel blessed for the experience.
