Congratulations on the poem and your college graduate. I am wishing all good thoughts toward him or her, and hope they get the career of their dreams, and soon. We had 4 children in college at the same time once - three of ours, and one who sort of adopted us as his.

Four at the same time! When I bought a house, someone told me that a house is a vacuum cleaner for one's wallet...But a house is nothing compared to colleges. (Not the KIDS, the darned colleges!). Oh, well, you can't take it with you---and colleges make sure of that. :)

No caps allowed?! What'll the government goons think of next? ---Well, it certainly won't be a spending cap, I guarantee you that!! Congrats on your son's graduation a couple of Mays ago. Hope he's doing well! Thanks for your support, Jan, as always! :) gw
