Chris is in the throes of college planning and asked if he could sit down with us today and talk about it and we enthusiastically accepted. Chris tells us about all that he's looking forward to, while his mom talks about all that she's not looking forward to and they both reflect on where they drive each other nuts. Jim chimes in from time to time. :) Once Chris leaves the conversation, Jim and wife reflect on, because there's just a lot of processing needed with such transitions. Enjoy!

Are you a partner that asks for crazy bread at 8:30pm or the partner that goes to get the crazy bread at 8:30pm? Don't say neither, you're either one, the other or both. :) Knitting sweater vests. We saw Jon Batiste in concert and it was an incredible show. And finally, suddenly and fully in our midlife era.

How does one navigate around the pervading malignancy of politics, the media, but stay informed and of service to the greater good? (I don't think we ever answered that question, but we will keep trying.) And finally, who will Jim be voting for come November.

Developmentally appropriate packing lists. Why doesn't Jim wear his favorite expressions of clothing n some places or all places? Authenticity. Copycat Jim. Jim the Prophet.
