2.5 hours of moderate to high intensity...but I find him to be mellower at 55 than at, say, 35.

Go across the river to a certain Nissan dealership about lunch time and say hello to the kid.

Happy that my daughter just heard from her first college. She got in, and they gave her a nice scholarship! Ursinus college, just across the street from UT's old run down house.

The scholarship blew me away when I saw the dollar amount, but then I compared it to the full price and it's not so impressive after all. $35k scholarship on a $65k sticker price. Ugh. $30k per year.

Still, she got in and they are giving her $140k over 4 years.

And she likes the school, so even though this is her "safety" it's great news.

Nice!

I gave out my PO Box address 2 weeks ago, mainly as a joke to see if people would actually send me their unwanted Kellogg's food products (due to the whole Breitbart thing). A friend of mine decided to be a joker and is sending me travel guides from all over the place. I only found out it was him a few days ago. I love it though...I enjoy that sort of thing, and rarely get anything sent to my PO Box anyway.

She's interested in some sort of science.

My hope is she picks a lucrative field. Something like chemistry. But I think she's going for bio. She likes working with animals.
