Episode 231: Vacation Dreams

00:31 School Security: We would like our kids to be able to move about freely, but also stay safe. It's a conundrum.

10:26 Vacations We Need: Inspired by a Facebook post, we dream up fantasy vacations. It turns out we care very little about luxury accommodations or exotic destinations. What we really need is a cozy bed and a Worry Concierge. Mentioned: Family reading weekend at Design Mom.

22:33 Speed Round: Embracing Our Age: Taking a vacation just to sleep sounds like something an older person would do. And there are lots of other things we enjoy about the ages we are.

33:50 Roundabout Roundup: The free Merck Manual app; "Yes, As In" on the Allusionist podcast and Nick Offerman on the Poscast; Grown and Flown on Facebook.

39:45 Shameless Self-Promotion: Nicole's book is on sale right now; Terri's updating her blog regularly; Catherine interviewed Katherine Reynolds Lewis at Highlights (you can also hear Katherine on this Speed Round).
