The time has flown by with alarming speed. Just last week I was
reading to Joe as he sat on my lap. Six days ago I was teaching Joe
how to throw a baseball and keep his balance on a 2-wheeler. Five
days ago I was teaching him how to use a PC, and four days ago I was
demonstrating proper technique for lifting weights. Only three days
ago I was dropping him off at Boy Scout camp, and just yesterday he
was attending Civil Air Patrol meetings at my side. He's grown into a
fine young man.

And now, he's a pilot!

Way to go, proud papa! It sounds like you done good. :-)

We are lucky, when we end up having fine, responsible kids. Or is it luck?
I don't think so.

I don't have a new pilot, but big changes are going on with my kids, too.
One is about to have a baby, as medical school is almost done. I got a good
son in law out of the deal, too.

The other is done with college, got a job, and moved out of our house (was
living here for short term while looking for a house) two days ago, into his
first house. Perhaps he will get back to flying, after his finances
stabilize a little bit. (he got up to solo, before pressures of school and
money made him postpone it)

At any rate, we have reason to be proud, but it still will take some
"getting used to it." It is a "good" used to it, fortunately! :-)
