. Older Kids Catching up in Sports?

My second grade son started playing soccer in kindergarten in the local Y intramural program and was the only kid who'd never played before (everyone else started in pre-school) and though he stuck with it through the end of 1st grade, he's always been the worst on the team. He's also tried indoor floor hockey which was a bit of a disaster, and now he's just started baseball (coach-pitch), and again, is the only kid who'd never played before and is again, the worst on the team. As he talks about the list of other sports to try - searching...

Ever Been to "Direct Buy"? the Warehouse Direct Purchasing Place on the Tv?

Hi, We're finishing our basement and I was wondering if anyone had any information about "Direct Buy" the place on infomercials etc. I wondered what the "membership" cost is, what types of things are a great discount etc. On the commercials people talk about saving $100,000 and I'm wondering if that's what they saved, what did they spend??? I'm looking for some glass tiles, bathroom fixtures, maybe some furniture etc. Any info would be great! Thanks!

Summer Learning Slump

Mamas & Papas- For those of you with school aged kids, do you believe in the summer learning slump? Do you do anything academic at home to combat it? Growing up my summers were spent at the playground and the beach, with a weekly trip to the library where we were allowed to take out no more than 25 books. We also went to the occassional museum, or zoo outing. But I don't remember say math worksheets or any other sort of thing. Thanks, F. B.
