Yay! Heading up to San Luis Obispo today. That sustaining comfortable hope is morphing into bubbly joy.
 
My knucklehead has clearly adjusted from being on the geographic fringe of all his pre-college social engagements to being smack dab in the middle of, well, everything.
 
We've only talked to him three times in the five weeks.
 
Thank you, Group, for keeping us sane through this most difficult part of the Detachment Transition. We've actually been really good throughout. A bird launched, but a flock found.
 
I'll post a photo of what I'll be wearing Saturday (as soon as I figure it out) - something identifying. Come up and say hi. As much as I appreciate our electronic interaction - real live interaction is always a plus.
 
Great job, Bird Launchers, I think we made it!
