    It's actually going to happen...

    "Dear Lucas,

    On behalf of President Paul Trible and the faculty, I take great pleasure in offering you admission to Christopher Newport University."

    It's his 2nd choice, we're still waiting to hear from Virginia Tech...

    Time to go panhandle

                Good news indeed! Buckle up, buttercup!

                The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                        Congratulations

                        My daughter went to CNU, that began the chain of events that has me living in Smithfield

                        CNU is a good place, it is still a fairly new, safe campus.

                        It is expensive, but is a good deal compared to similar schools around the country. It is about the same cost as Tech. If we ever get past the covid, the Ferguson Center will reopen, that is a good place.

                          Fingers crossed for Tech too...

                                  My son's first year of college didn't go too well - his grades were fine, but he absolutely hated the experience, so he's working for a year to pay it off, and trying to figure out what's more appealing than mechanical engineering. Pan handling is one option, I guess.

                                        He's pretty clueless. His best subject at HS was probably history, but he knows that would be a complete waste of money, and he has no interest in teaching. He really needs something moderately technical, but without too much math. We shall see.
