Dear Gerds, I wish everyone (even if it s NOT thanksgiving today in your neck of the woods) a very lovely day and want to thank you for the hours of entertainment, the support, and thought provoking blogs that you have shared with me. Whether pouring your heart into a blog, leaving a comment on mine, sharing art, or holidays plans, or missing Senpa, you have all touched my life and I love you for it! Big hugs to you all.

If you want me to pull out the safari lens, VT.... ;)

She'll have a blast. DC is great for school trips ... and everyday ones!

Way to parent yourself right outta the job VT!

Oh VT, I'm so excited for her! I did that trip on a bus with 37 other kids when I was 15 1/2! The United Nations Pilgrimage For Youth! A week in New York. And the bus trip from CA across the lower US to NY and then back through a tiny bit of Canada and the upper US. The best! And set a traveler on a path, boy howdy. Better get used to getting postcards from here there and everywhere now, Dad! Yeah, this is your payback for being a great parent. You're right. Not fair. :-D

Unfortunately, they are not taking volunteers. They did not specifically rule out stalkers, but maybe that was implied.

VT, it is so hard to let go. I'd stow away in a suitcase or volunteer to go with, or lose my mind, but I'm a wussie. I'm sure she will have a great trip and you'll survive - you've done your job correctly it seems!

oy, my kid is growing up. Hardly a kid anymore. Next spring, she will be going on a school field trip across the country to washington D.C. Without a blood relative guarding over her. And she will probably have the time of her life. Without her parents! What is she thinking? Or conversely, what I am thinking to allow this? OK I know what I am thinking: she has totally failed to behave in an irrational, dangerous, or other manner that requires constant total supervision. And she reacts to surprising situations with sensible actions. It's just not fair.

Doctor Mario is one of my fav's for making the world go away.

Agreed. I have these two old RTS games (Battle for Middle Earth and BfMEII) that I find very soothing in times of trouble. Nothing like crushing an army of orcs to get my angst out!

Hope you feel better soon, and hope you can get off the worst of the steroids. (prednisone and the like is ugly, ugly stuff! My boys have had to be on it from time to time. Yikes.)
