my buddy is currently walking the Camino Trail in Spain. He may have had a great view.
Haven't been able to get ahold of him, so maybe the view was too good :noidea:

My massage therapist asked me what kind of runner I was and i said I'm like Forrest Gump.. I just run and then 10 seconds later he said "oh, I have a family who has autism as well"

I never corrected him so I think he thinks I'm autistic

Me too. At least I learned it when I was younger than you.

And once I show my wife this she'll have 3 years on me for learning this.

Child the youngest, aka 43.25, just left high school for the last time.

When you have a kid that's that much of a free spirit, there's bound to be some struggles. Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds, as Einstein said.

Thank goodness that is over.

I have a similar (Autism spectrum, panic attacks, migraines. yet gifted) free spirited 21-year-old who couldn't handle traditional school, and even had to drop out of virtual school in 10th grade, aced the GED test 3 years later without studying and just completed the first semester of college on the President's List.

It's a journey, and only one leg of it is over.

Congrats!

It's really never over. As kids get older new struggles come up. You might not be as aware of them, but they exist.

Grandchildren, that's something else.

No grandkids for me as of yet, but I believe a wedding proposal for my eldest daughter is happening next month.

My company announced we will no longer have costumed Halloween parties. Coworkers are mad at me because they think I am to blame, but I disagree. I still thing going as Alfred Molina's character in Boogie Nights was a great costume.
