I feel like I can't post my work here until I've made some significant strides, and I'll get there.

Mike,

I think you are all over it! Maturity only comes with time/experience. How many times have I said to my 17 year old son,"I know you don't understand what I'm telling you now, but one day you will."And then he grows up and one day he will say,"Now I see it. It so obvious. Why couldn't I see it that way before?"

There's an old saying: "When the student is ready the teacher appears."

It's a little different in our household. When our student is ready, the out-of-state college tuition bill appears.

I'm ready. I'm READY!

So, when are you all arriving? I'll buy the pizza & beer!
