Another one of my memories from elementary school was my time in the gifted education program.  The experience started in first or second grade, one day, when the teacher called me up to her desk and casually asked if I was finding my school work rather easy....

We have had our own personal little episode of Cludeo in our house recently. A regular little mystery story was unfolding before our eyes. It has been driving us all crazy. It seems that our DVD and gaming colle...
