If my birthdays haven't confirmed that I'm old,

then watching my 18 yr old nephew graduate High School tells me I'm old.

My baby is all grown up and graduating HS!

"You're off to great places, Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, Get on your way!"

"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. You are the guy who’ll decide where to go." -Dr. Seuss

I like Dr. Seuss. "Oh, the places you'll go" book. I'm not sure how far that kid will actually get.

He's the first in his family to graduate HS. So that's a start.

And as far as physically leaving this state, he's travelled more/farther than his parents so far.

So there is hope.

"Your families are extremely proud of you. You can’t imagine the sense of relief they are experiencing. This would be a most opportune time to ask for money." -Gary Bolding

Everyone got him a card and money for graduation, basically.

"So long as your desire to explore is greater than your desire to not screw up, you're on the right track." -Ed Helms
