    A milestone

    My son graduated on Sunday from Central HS in La Crosse, WI. He did very well academically and athletically and won several music awards. He will be going to University of WI next fall to study engineering.

    I figure I have about a week to gloat, and he has about a week to find a summer job...

            Congrats to you and him.

            So he is headed to U of Wisconsin? Looks like a Big Ten rivalry starting.

            Our son also just graduated, and I can brag that was first in his class at graduation time, (okay, so he was just first in line during the procession, but still..) He will be off to The Ohio State University in the fall. He does have two part time jobs.

            Congrats again

                  Jeff,

                  We all know how much work it is to get them through these milestones. Congratulations to you both.

                  Just how tall is he?

                    Great job! If you're anything like me, you treat your kid's accomplishments as somewhat of your own. And any graduation ceremony is a major milestone.

                      He's about 6'2"--not sure if he's stopped growing yet. I tried not feeding him, but it didn't work...

                        Congrats, Now the tuition payments start, my older daughter graduated college two years ago, the younger one has one more semester to go, then there's grad. school.

                        And as Uncle Cracker said "now the fun starts".

                        Best of luck, and you both enjoy this time of your lives, it passes really fast.
