Day 259

Just once I would like to be like the movie-of-the-week families. When their kids go away to college its all endearing looks, fond reflections and hopeful hugs. The kids drive off into the sunset in hand-me-down Volvos or get dropped off at the dorms where the other co-eds greet them fondly, all good-kids, from good homes.

We are leaving in a few days to take my son to his new college. He is 26 and this isn't his first foray into the world. In fact, this is his third college. As cliche as it sounds, he's still trying to find himself. We don't have a used Volvo and we're all a little grumpy about the trip. We started to snip at each other a little today - nothing at all like the movie-of-the-week families. We're more reality television, heavy on the reality.
