Matchbox 20 - Closing time

today in ann arbor packing son's stuff in car so we can haul it back home so he can haul it off to his next station in life. It's hot and and so what. I'm taking a break. I don't like using his laptop because he has no mouse. We will be leaving sometime tomorrow morning. But, we have to enjoy a few pints of pale ale later on after the packing is done. Right now he's arranging what should go and what should stay. I will help with the grunt work when it's all arranged. This is a chunk of his life that I'm sure he will miss. All of his friends have gone their seperate ways, connected now by cell phones and the internet. The last time I was at this apartment it was robust with chatter and party, Ok....so here's some song ...and then...after the song.....maybe some rest...and maybe some quiet.

Hey!  We had some glasses of wine/pints of ale/bloody marys (depending on who you were) with our kids this evening.  Oh I am thinking of you so fondly with your son in Ann Arbor (how I love that town!) and the way time passes.  We taught our son's South Korean girlfriend how to throw corn cobs in the woods.  OK, on that note, gotta go….  :)

Ah, how i remember getting my daughter from University in London, how I loaded up my Chevette with her stuff, so it was almost hitting bottom.  I, too,  hate laptop computers with no mouse.  All that rolling hurts my finger - too labour intensive.
Where is he going next?   I don't regret one moment of helping the kids move, or fix stuff in their student apartments.  They will do it one day for their kids.  You have set a very good example for them. ((((hugs))
