Greetimgs from the Wet Chester University Student Union!

My son has orientation today and I'm sneaking time off one of the school's computers to elude the endless drone of administrators.

I must log off before they rescind his admission.

1. Wet Chester!!!

Are they having wet t-shirt contests?

[rug]

3. No, but he did get a free t-shirt.

2. Really that anti-democrat ?

[rug]

4. I don't know if the school is anti-Democratic but i did leave DU op on the screen after I logged out

I saw a few parents gesticulating and not in a nice way.

[Wait Wut]

7. That made me giggle.

I love the visual of a couple of stuffy, cranky, Conservative parents fretting over the obvious brainwashing that is available on the school's computers.

You get a gold star for today.

12. Shame on 'em! Oh and Good For You!

5. I spent the BEST degree-less 6 years of my life as a student at West Chester!!!

I highly recommend the Creative Writing folks there. If Chris Buckley is still
there, he's the BEST poetry teacher ever -- even if he resents HAVING to do
ir in order to pay the mortgage. Also and especially Teddy West, though I
suspect she's no longer there.

6. No kidding, that is truly a good recommendation.

Next time I'm there I'll get you a t-shirt.

8. In my case, that T-shirt would be VERY appropriate, though I wouldn't (HA, couldn't) swear to it),

9. I may ask you from time to time about life in West Chester.

Especially how to get out of there by public transportation. We ran into the storm on the way back and it took more than five hours.

Much as I love my son, I'm not looking forward to that trip. One thing I found out is that West Chester is part of SEPTA so he can take a train or bus into Philadelphia, take the Train to Newark, NJ, then the train to Port Jervis, NY where I can pick him up. As Mr.Rogers once said, "Better him than me."

10. Having made similar...

that's going to be a rough train ride. It's not as bad as Newark, DE to Waterbury, CT (7 hours) but it's pretty bad...probably close to 5.5 hours vs. <3 driving.

[rug]

11. Yeah but I convert it to man hours.

2 people driving from Milford Pa to West Chester PA x 3 hours (optimistically) = 6 hours

+

3 people driving from West Chester to Milford x 3 hours = 9 hours


6 < 15 = he's SOL.


I foresee 1 year of whining, followed by 1 year of negotiation followed by 2 years of abject resignation.

This may be the last year he gives me a Father's Day present.
