<p>Fun to read about these kids four years later.</p>
<p>My son is off to the West Coast for his Phd. Going to his undergrad safety and chasing the money ended up not hurting him in his phd. search. He had a number of great choices.</p>
<p>He wanted warm weather. No snow. Where did I go wrong?</p>
<p>He is home for the summer. I am afraid this is it though. He is a california kind of kid. Laid back and easy going. I don’t think he will ever come back. One weekend visit and he was putty in their hands. His sister plans on moving in with him in a year. Ugh…</p>
