Kid update #1

My oldest son leaves for Spring Break on Monday. No, he's not doing the typical trip to Florida or Mexico. He won't be drinking himself into a stupor, vomiting off a balcony, waking up with a silly outfit on, and later seeing a picture of that night here. Instead he will be going with his girlfriend and a few other friends, and staying here in New York City.

I always knew he wasn't the typical kid. Looking back at his childhood I smile realizing just how different he really was. And now I realize just how lucky I am to be his mother. He's the perfect son.

He's a mass communications major now. He's Program Manager of the school radio station, writes a music review column for the newspaper, a reporter for the television station, and has started taking film classes.

You can check out one of his news stories here. Look to the right, and click "To watch the most recent episode of VCU InSight, click here." Once the film starts move ahead 23 minutes into the episode and you'll catch him.

I stayed at the Chelsea also way, way back during an Easter break in college. I went to see a few Broadway plays and walk around the city a bit. I remember seeing the area in which they were planning on building the Twin Towers--and now they're gone. Obviously that trip was a long time ago.

I hope your eldest son has a great time visiting the Big Apple, Dena.

Joyously roaming through life. Meeting its topographical challenges, and facing each with a sarcastic wit, and an impetuous need to face even more bumps, dips, pits and peaks. How the hell else did I end up with a 22 year old, a 20 year old and a 4 year old?
