Lunch At Tiffany's
I shouldn't be writing...at least not here...I should be on my way to work but having slept for 7 or 8 hours I feel like a human being again and don't feel like being a worker bee quite yet.
Amy and I have cleared the schedule for this afternoon - meaning no computer work for lawyers and no lazing around watching season 3 of "24" - in order to have lunch with our eldest child, Tiffany. The child who seems to tolerate us being childlike and whom I'm sure will end up with the job of taking care of her senile parents...once they declare us senile which I'm certain Tiffany fears could be any day now.
Tiffany's been working 60 hour weeks "waitressing" this summer to earn money before she leaves in a few weeks for Harvard and her Master's in Education Policy. This after spending the past two years teaching math to 7th graders and deciding public education has big problems, so she's going solve them.
This may be one of the final times we'll have a chance to share a meal with her...all to ourselves...for a while. I want to savor it...the time...not the meal. She's an amazing young woman who will turn 24 next week...but there's no limit on where she will go from here. I can promise you this...she'll blaze new trails along the way.

She's beautiful and smart and caring and tolerant of senility? Give that girl power of attorney, fast!! ;)
Have fun with Tiffany!
a compliment for Tiffany...she does not look like she is 24! She looks much younger, .... I'm sure she gets that a lot and hates it?? But, she will appreciate her youthful appearance in the years to come...I hope that she has great sucess at Harvard!
What a lovely image.
Tell Tiffany, from a fellow teacher who's now been trying to solve the education problems for 21 years....
The solutions to the problems will be found in yourself, and also you will discover that you, in the system, will make it better, if not perfect. Go where God sends, and the rest will work itself out. Best of luck! I'll be pulling for you!
