JCGStill working on a clever handle

I grew up in the east so I still have a pair of those, and of course the obligatory docksiders.

Both of my kids flirted with going to school in the east. The eldest almost went to a school in PA, and when the youngest was talking to schools in states like VT, NY, PA, WA, and NH, he claimed to have no qualms at all about going to school in a cold climate.

Fast forward to the present, and when the eldest came home from SoCal for Thanksgiving, he was wearing shorts, and put on long pants for TDay dinner, and that's it. Meanwhile the youngest tells me while we're on the way to the airport how he happy he is to be going back to school in SoCal cause he was freezing to death here in his hometown -- where it snows a quarter inch maybe once every 20 years.

I'm happy that the kid is happy, but the old fart in me says a few years in New England would have helped him toughen up and built some character!
