<p>I'm on my second cup for the morning, my son is home and sleeping off wisdom teeth extraction, and it's sunny. Reading this is a strong reminder of two years ago. Hell. And now it is Heaven. And this too shall pass.</p>
<p>The reason why he is having his wisdom teeth out a year plus some into college is a direct result of the way things were going during his senior year at application time. It has taken two years to finish this business. Instead of teeth, it was a tumor on the spine at the same time that applications were being filled in, scholarship stuff as well, oboe tapes, composition tapes, you name it tapes. Double applications for every school and some triple. Oh yes, and IB orals about this time that year...then the essays and exams. Oh yes, and trying out for a summer program in France which worked out and the teeth got postponed and the tumor got zapped. All the applications went fed ex and all is well that ends well.</p>
<p>So my best to you all!</p>
