Packy's Place

The school year is well under way . I still keep hoping for news that my son is going to start working toward his G.E.D., or something that gives me hope that he'll be self-supporting before I'm too old to care. The part that bothers me is, he is bright. So I know that he can do it. It's just getting him motivated to get the job done. I wish I had the magic answer.

Here we are again. I can hear my son and his buddy. Hammering away at the Xbox yet one more time. I'm open to suggestions on what it is going to take to get my son off his ass, and on to sorting out what he is going to do with his life.  I'm not a young man, and I would like to retire in the next few years. I really don't see how I can do that, if I'm continuing to support my son. Although the way things are going I'll probably have to work until I can't. They'll just come up on me at work, and wonder what I'm doing. Tap me on the shoulder, and find there is no pulse. Not exactly what I had in mind for my "Golden Years".
