Are you a Nag?

What we say can help or hurt

Last night, Greg and I had a long conversation about our communication (or lack thereof) with the kid we dropped off at college last week.  I was sharing with him that I will miss my conversations with Eric, since the communication we’re getting these days seems to come in quick bits, texts and when he needs something.  Greg wisely counseled me to be patient, but most of all not to waste any precious...

College Life Begins

Starting the next phase of life...

Greg and I successfully navigated our journey to rainy Boston yesterday, completely unprepared for the weather.  Somehow in the midst of all the packing, we neglected to see the reports calling for rain the next few days.  We arrived at our hotel toting a mandolin, an electric bass, four rolling suitcases, and not a single jacket or umbrella.  We looked like a drowning middle aged rock band, but our...
