my son the dr.

so, my older son doesnt talk to me. my ex got married last weekend, and the pics killed me. dont care about him. but 3 of our 4 kids were there, being their magnificent selves. a great pic of them, shared on fb, had me in tears. for all the grief i have had w them, they are the best kind of siblings. so much love and support. so proud of them all.
so, son has been in s.l.c., at u utah for several years now, working on a phd in theoretical math. asked his sisters a couple times about when he was going to be done, yada yada. no firm answer.

but i just found him on twitter, and he had a tweet saying that the hardest part about graduating was returning his library books.
yes, my boy.

anyway, so, yeah, mr phd.

he is going back to get an mba, because he wants to be a social entrepreneur. (and, i suspect, because he loves school.)
i think he got bored w math after he had digested it all. and all my kids are warriors. i love it, even if i am their first victim.

look out world. when this young man is set lose on civilization, there will be quakes.
so proud.

who built that brilliant brain. he was the smartest baby i ever saw. i fed that little brain all day, every day.
but he thinks he did it himself.
oh well.

i suspect he will wake up one day.
