Strider Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 My 22 year-old nephew just completed his senior football season -- and his master's degree -- at the Div 1AA university where he played quarterback. His football team was never particularly great -- their best record during his 5 year tenure was 9-3 -- but he grew immensely as a person during those years. He'll be graduating in December and I'm happy for him. 9-3 ain't nuthin' to sneeze at; Whole lotta schools would kill to be as good as 9-3. Is he graduating early? That's great news. Any post-graduate studies in his future plans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pagefan55 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 (edited) Hi Strider, Yeah, he red-shirted as a freshman, and took a ton of summer classes so he's already got his BS. He'll be receieving his Masters (in Biology) next month in December. He plans to teach high school biology for a few years, and then maybe return to school to get a Ph.d. He once considered trying to play pro football -- maybe trying out for the Canadian Football League -- but he eventually decided that he wasn't interested enough, and probably didn't have the talent, to go that route.

Well I reckon you are dead-chuffed at the young man's progress and as proud a papa as can be. Well done, Papa Pagefan55. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SozoZoso Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Great night at archery plus finally got a new mattress as my old one was falling apart and I nearly got impaled by a sharp mattress spring during the night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles J. White Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Tonight gave my son a hug, and he grinned at me. Afterwards, I sat around by the Christmas tree strumming my guitar singing to the Mrs out of key and out of tune, but who cares, it was fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're very proud!!!! Sweet WJr. I trust you had a little celebration? No not your parents ! Today was a happy day: After a slow start things got moving as Mrs CP found me a new Mountain Bike ( mine had died a horrible death) £25 crisp notage. I then met an old work colleague and it was great to catch up. On return to base I booked a 5 night golfing break to Portugal in Feb for us 2. Mrs CP is out for a girlies Thai meal so I indulged my passion for lamb. 2 Organic cutlets with fries and peas, lavish on the mint sauce. Washed down with a Rioja. Tunes were supplied by Bad Company's first LP and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and a real bonus was finding a piece of Moroccan finest. Which I have had a tidy bifta. Finally I will be retiring to the lounge where I have recorded the Sky Arts 2hr programme on the "Roots of Led Zeppelin" Come on? Does it get any better?

Patrycja Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 (edited) Went to a pub after work with some friends and colleagues and the locals broke into song. Not the sad few in the corrner who had a few too many. No, the entire pub full of people started singing Christmas carols and hymns. So genuine and heartfelt. What a wonderful moment to be in the midst of, especially with good people around to share it Edited December 20, 2014 by Patrycja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
