And They're Off...

Our daughter went back to college yesterday. She'll be a sophomore. This will be her first year in an apartment.

Our son has been gone for a couple of weeks. He's starting his junior year. He also turned 21 this summer. To say I'm looking forward to this year with a certain amount of trepidation would be an understatement.

My grandson left earlier this week for his freshman year at college.* Granddaughter is starting high school this fall.

Suddenly I'm feeling old ... very, very old.

* It's complicated. I have an older son from an earlier marriage. He's 43. His kids - my grandkids - are 18 and 15. My kids from the current marriage are 21 and 19. My current wife was almost a grandmother before she was a mother.

The good news, however, is that we are again empty-nesters!
