Transitioning to Father of a College Student!

Wow, here I am.  I am sitting in the Penn State HUB Auditorium waiting for the FTCAP orientation day to begin.  Yes, this is my day to spend with Hunter to welcome him to Penn State University as an incoming freshman.  I never thought I would feel too emotional about this day, but it really has struck me.  What a transition!  I truly enjoyed being Hunter's dad, as well as the dad of my other four kids, but to actually be sitting here today, helping him get his computer account activated, etc., is really cool! 

It's also cool to me that we know so much "inside information" here.  Now that I think of it, it must be really "scary" to those parents and students who go to colleges and universities which are completely *new* to them.  We don't have to worry about housing and food questions (since Hunter will live at home), and I know a few things about the academic side of PSU.  So I can enjoy this day in a very different way than most of the parents with whom I am sitting.

Of course, by the end of the day today, we'll probably have our first PSU bill to pay!  Oh, well, that just comes with the territory! 

We Are!!!

Thanks to Loeschdogg, I am enjoying NHL playoffs again!

A few weeks ago, Loeschdogg and his beautiful family spent a weekend at our home.  It was great fun!  Part of the treat was enjoying a televised NHL game on that Saturday afternoon with him.  We watched his favorite team, the Washington Capitals.  It brought back great memories of when I was in graduate school (20 years ago!) and I enjoyed watching the Pittsburgh Penguins on TV.  Those were very enjoyable days. 

Without the recent afternoon with Loeschdogg, I doubt that I would be watching this year's Stanley Cup playoffs.  But I am really into it now.  So imagine how ironic I thought it was when his team, the Washington Capitals, played the Penguins this year in the playoffs.  It was an amazing series - it went seven games, many going into overtime.  The two biggest "superstars" in the NHL - Ovechkin and Crosby - were matched against one another.  It was great.  (Side question:  Can you have superstars in the NHL?)   And listening to Mike Lange call the Penguins games always brings a huge smile to my face.  Every time he shares one of his famous quotes after a Penguins goal, I can't help but laugh out loud. 

The Capitals/Penguins series ended last night with a Pittsburgh win.  I am saddened for Loeschdogg, but I can't wait to watch another Penguins series in the coming days! 

Have you watched any of this year's Stanley Cup games?  If not, what has brought you a true sense of enjoyment lately? 

P.S.  Thanks, Loeschdogg, for getting me back into it!!
