- The northern edge of Irene: Rain and some pretty noisy winds at 8 AM in SE Virginia; tops of the trees are thrashing hard. #
- First power blink, and we're still eight hours or so from height of storm. Fabulous. #

Just wondering…where is DS #2 studying? Congratulations, by the way!
I remember reading something you wrote (can’t remember where) about age 19 being ideal for the first year of college. I believe you referenced your own experience at W&M with college freshmen as one of the reasons. I’m just curious about what led to your decision to send kid 2 off at 17?
