Following up to the Friday night posts - my son was accepted to the Duke Center for Summer Studies at Davidson College (near Charlotte) and we received enough of a scholarship (along with my mother's help) for him to attend. He didn't get his first choice of Psychology, but instead was placed in Philosophy - which I think somehow suits him better.

We are both very excited. Considering all the crap he is expected to bring with him (including bed sheets and pillow), I think I will be driving him - even if it is a 10 hour drive from Tampa. Matt and Yoshi ... are you up for the next mini convention in Charlotte? Dinner on Saturday night, June 12th? I'll probably be wired from all the driving, but at least my son could provide good conversation! ;)

Mr. Matt

YOUR restaurant? You have a restaurant? Own it? Run it? Or just your favorite place? ;)

I still haven't figured out yet if I will be sending the boy up to Charlotte via Useless Air (only airline with direct flights) or driving him ... it's decision time. With gas prices going up (10 hour drive up and 10 hour drive back) and car difficulties (I'll have to rent a car for the trip up and back) and hotel for overnight stay both weekends - it may make more sense to put him alone on a 96 minute flight.

I'll let you know via PM what I figure out.
