This is getting serious--I've started the countdown in my head. On August 23rd we drop Elroy off at UMBC (tick, tick, tick) and then on the 27th we drop Judy off at Kzoo (tick, tick, tick). The clock ticking does not imply that I'll be glad to see them go off to college. Quite the contrary, I'll miss them desperately, but such is life. Ultimately, our kids will mature and want to live on their own and living on campus is part of that transition. We may not see Judy until the Chrismas break, although if there is a parents weekend, Jane and I will probably attend. Elroy will be considerably closer at UMBC so we can visit, or he'll be able to come home on holidays or over three-day weekends. I dunno.....this is going to be a big, big change for all of us and I'm not sure what to expect. The operational plan is just to take one day, one crisis, at a time and hope for the best. We'll see how they adapt to college life....Toga, Toga, Toga. I wish them the best.
