On a personal note - I'm putting my 18-year-old son on an airplane Saturday and he's flying from Dallas to Seattle, and then on to Anchorage, Alaska for college. Over 3000 miles. I don't think he has ever been farther away than 50 miles from me in his life. I'm joyous and happy, but a little sad, too.

I have 2 older kids, 31 and 29, one of whom was actually a Marine for 5 years and served over in Iraq and was even there as a civilian worker after the Marines. And it's not like an empty nest syndrome - I have a 16 and 15 year old sons still at home.

I just hope I have instilled in him enough. Enough skills to survive. Enough values to do what is right in the world. How to do his own laundry. How to budget so that he can live within his budget and not starve. How to treat women.

And I may not see him for a long, long time. Thank goodness for email!

Just wanted to share.
