And He's Off!

Sent the Bean away today. Watched him till the last minute going through security. Helps that he's so tall. Even from a distance his head is high enough to see. Little bit of a blip in getting him there. Someone misspelled the last name, and so for a while there it appeared as if he didn't have a ticket and might not be able to make it back in time for school to start. But then the extra "i" was discovered through a panicked phone call home to Mom who remembered the error. And so he got off fine. I'm really going to miss him. When we hugged goodbye, he said "See you at Christmas." The expanse of time struck - I'm not going to see him for Halloween (70 days away, btw) or Thanksgiving. I hope he has a great year at school.
