Had to read A Tale of Two Cities and Fathers and Sons. I was such a geek I could point out the part in the Cliff's Notes my friends were reading that said six months passed in Fathers and Sons when it was actually six weeks.Nels P.

I haven't really gotten used to the idea, but then again, right now, they are all living in my house so it really doesn't feel like an empty nest.jo(e)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01488562158252331555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-25066148496378259972012-09-05T15:52:53.911-04:002012-09-05T15:52:53.911-04:00Anon: I never do explain it on the blog, but anyon...Anon: I never do explain it on the blog, but anyone who learns his real name figures out.

And the Kid (who will be 21 in Nov!) was jus starting high school...<br /><br />You are much more laid back about the summer homework procrastination than I was--good for you. My worrying about it getting done never did a bit of good. <br /><br />So are you prepared for the empty nest next year?

This post just reminded me that I never asked one question: Did you ever explain how you gave With-a-Why his pseudonym? I could guess, but I was thinking maybe there was a story there... Anyway, thanks for the great writing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-90065088329861188222012-09-05T09:26:38.156-04:002012-09-05T09:26:38.156-04:00My kids also wait until the very last minute to do...My kids also wait until the very last minute to do their summer assignments.
