On Saturday morning, Rhi and I will leave for Colorado, where she’ll be attending her first year of College at UC Boulder.

Day one, we’ll drive as long as we can stand it, and stop somewhere, probably in Kansas. Many Wizard of Oz jokes will be made.

Day two, we’ll go the rest of the way to Boulder, where we’ll have a look around the town a little, and see what there is to see.

Day three, we’ll move her stuff into the dorm.

Day four, I’ll fly home to Lexington.

It hardly seems possible that my little girl is an adult, and moving off on her own. We’re going to miss her terribly, but we’re also so very excited for her. It’s been very nice having her here for the 8 or 9 months since she finished school. It’s been awesome watching her find her passions over the last 18 years, and grow into a beautiful young woman. I’m really looking forward to the next 40 years or so, watching her bloom even more.
