At the puppy park last week I was chatting with some other dog parents, and we were discussing spending holidays with parents. Seems I'm not the only one who travels a great distance to see their family and then comes home feeling a bit empty. My sister and I try to find out more about who are parents are, now that we are adults, but it is very hard to get them to talk about themselves. At turnoffthetv.com you can get a board game called LifeStories As you might suspect, the questions on the cards ask you to relate life experiences, past, present, and future goals. It would be a pretty good way to get to know your friends better, too.
