Our oldest son Tyler had to come home from college for a physical today. When I picked him up he talked non-stop all the way home. One thing he said was that he has never been as happy as he is now being in college. He is really struggling his first semester at RPI.

Seaturtle, I love that! I am going to pass that on to the mother of the young man I do pca work for.
