Ten Degrees and Getting Colder

  Cold Sunrise   That's just the name of the song written by Gordon Lightfoot.  It was actually -13 F when I got up this morning (wind chill -24).  Tucson may have pulled back into the lead!  There's a lot of weighing pros and cons of Colorado vs Arizona by the wood stove.  Not much else to report. I did enjoy a few games of pool and a beer with my brother this week.  We don't get together very often, so it's good to try to keep the lines of communication open, especially with my mother celebrating her 86th birthday next month.  He lives in Milwaukee and just started semi-retirement.  Our opposing politics and lifestyles keep things very casual and surface-level.  Not that there's anything wrong with that.   It's important to find common ground.  He and his wife have started going to concerts and recently saw the Steve Miller Band.  Music is one of our common interests.

“Well, I’ve been afraid of changin’
‘Cause I’ve built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I’m getting older, too.”  (Fleetwood Mac-“Landslide”)
 
 
Yesterday, my son graduated from high school.  For many reasons, education for Justin has been a battle.  He overcame many physical and social obstacles.
 

 
Today, we spent a couple of hours at his new school and home:  University of Wisconsin-Whitewater.  He plans to major in social work and will start a summer transitions program in July.  There are still unknowns and obstacles ahead, but we will take those day-by-day.
 
For now, we can sit back and celebrate his victories.
