A Grandson prepares for college.

May 14th 2008 23:19
I have sent the following e-mail to my oldest Grandson on the occasion of his upcoming start of college life.

One word of explanation, his other grandfather is politically the mirror image of me.

I hope that the result will be a politically rational young man, solidly ensconced in the Middle!



You know, of course, that Grandma and I are very, very proud of your accomplishments and your admission to college for this Fall. As your Grandfather, I have a responsibility that I take seriously, indeed. Besides being a source of sound political advice (always “fair and balanced”), I’ve assumed the duty to assist you in the transition to college life.


This might aid in that endeavor:

Congratulations (to you and him). Where is he going to college?

Josh will be attending the University of Florida at Gainesville.

He, like his siblings and cousins, are (in my unbiased opinion as Grandfather) all above average in intelligence, looks and all-around character!

Thank you so very much for the kind comments.

Ewww. The Gators? I'm a UT grad. Well, I hear it's a good school, anyway.

Such assistance into the world of college is vital. That will probably be the single most used tool amongst your grandson and his peers.

And what a wonderful grandfather to offer such sage guidance

Thanks, Cheryl. I do the best I can, spoken with great modesty.
