Back to school

I’ll be away from the Web for most of today. We’re taking our oldest daughter to Temple University to help get her settled into her new dorm and her next big adventure as a college freshman.

College, I think, is going to suit her well — far better than high school did. (I mean this as the highest of compliments).

The move itself shouldn’t take too long. Negotiating the waiver that will allow us to finalize our parents’ “Plus” loan may take a bit longer (say a prayer, light a candle, cross your fingers, etc.). Consoling the Slacktivixen after we return to a house without her oldest daughter in it may take longer still. (It’s time to learn Skype.)

But this is a Big Deal and a Big Day. And despite some fears and some tears, it’s a Happy Day. Starting today, a bigger part of the world will get to meet this awesome young woman and she, in turn, will get to meet a bigger part of the world.

Pretty cool.
