Thank you,

It is amazing to me how accomplished you are at this. I'm only starting to train to survive my first triathlon. Survive and maybe finish. 

When I can run the marathon portion. THAT will be the hardest thing to push for. You are my inspiration for that. You didn't know that did you?

You are too kind!!! And, just made my day 

You look AMAZING Gary!!!  Absolutely AMAZING!!!!

Thank you Dee. That's very nice of you to say.

WOW  - Fierce.

For all you almost empty nesters - my mom waited 20 years to tell me how difficult it was when I (only daughter) went away to college.  She told me the only way she got through was by telling herself I would be home in June, and then I stayed at school the summer after my Freshman year and went into a co-op program.   Well, the summer after she told me, we went to Australia on a 6-week cross US trip to make up for that summer.  

It's great any of you almost-empty nesters are thinking about this and planning for it.  Kids just think you will be happy that you don;t have to taxi them around anymore.  Many do not get that you will miss them terribly.

What a great way to make up for lost time. You rock Sharon.

Keep up the great work. For your kids and for yourself! 

Thanks JB

I have something to tell you that is embarrassing to me. I'm sorry for accidentally dumping you and Grim and 6 others on my friend list. It was not personal. I was going to send you guys a joke on PM. I hit the wrong box, and that fast, gone.

I was stupid to not clear it up sooner. I feel like a bad friend for this. I'm sorry.

You really do resemble Liz Taylor.....Hilton, Wilding, Todd, Fisher, Burton, Warner, Fortensky.

On a side note, when I was younger, I remember hearing of a recent conversation between Michael Jackson and Ms Taylor. He would refer to her as "Lizard-breath" for Elizabeth. And she would ask him why wasn't he at K-Mart, as she had heard that there was an ad for "boy's pants, half off today only"!  

Gary, you have done such an amazing job.  I am so proud of you, and all that you have accomplished.  I wish I had some great words of advice about your children leaving the nest, and going to college.  I do not have children, so I can't know how you feel.  But what I can say is that, if a parent's job is to raise their children to be successful, responsible and good caring adults, then I suspect you have done your job well.  

I wi**** would never end. That is what is causing them to chomp at the bit to leave. They want to be adults.
