Farewell

“We’ve done our part. And as I walk off into the city streets, a final word to the men and women of the Reagan revolution, the men and women across America who for 8 years did the work that brought America back. My friends: We did it. We weren’t just marking time. We made a difference. We made the city stronger, we made the city freer, and we left her in good hands. All in all, not bad, not bad at all.

And so, goodbye, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America.”
-President Ronald Reagan, Farewell Address

Joe College, Day 1
I mentioned earlier that “The Boy” is now a college freshman. Today was his first day.

He ran into that age-old dilemma, “How long do you have to wait if the professor doesn’t show up?” It was the first day of his second class, and no professor! Ya really gotta love that!

Anyway, he stayed in the classroom (surprise!) and actually did his homework from the other class! (Big, big surprise!)

Oh, he got a “date” out of the deal, too. For coffee at Starbucks. With an “older” woman. (She’s all of 19 – a sophomore! Robbing the cradle already!)

I’m reminded of this other Joe College…uh, Joe COOL…
