So far, so good...
Aug. 20th, 2009 11:46 amOur son has been in DeKalb for two days. The planet still rotates.
He volunteered to be an NI Guide, which means he moved into the dorm two days early, attended a bunch of "leadership training" events that seem to have involved bowling and snack foods, and today he is helping other students move in. His motivation was twofold: 1) the same theory that says you should gopher at your first convention, and 2) he had to be in DeKalb for a meeting on Tuesday anyway. And herein begins My Rant of The Eight Pilgrimages...( I mean really... )
We may yet drive out to DeKalb over the weekend to clear up some loose ends and convince our son to get his computer hooked up so we can nag him via email which is cheaper than telephone. Yes, eventually we'll investigate Skype. Videoconferencing will help to get the cats and the ferret even more worked up than they already are. I wish my nest were empty.
