I know what you are thinking - "Wow, who is that gorgeous girl?" Well, that of course is my daughter Grace (and her lovely friend Allison). Grace is a little scary, because in addition to being beautiful, she is also really smart. Proof of this: she was accepted into Cal Poly in December; two days ago I found out that a record number of high school seniors applied to Poly this year - over 45,000 to be exact. So, even though I knew she was utterly qualified, it seems she is even more exceptional than we thought!
"Why are they dressed up like that?" They were headed to the Winter Formal.
"Where do you go to write these blog entries, anyway?" My favorite place to go is the amazing coffee house / used bookstore Kreuzberg Coffee and Books in SLO (I love the atmosphere, but, and I feel a little sad saying this, their coffee is way too strong for me). I wrote most of this one sitting outside the Atascadero Starbucks enjoying a small (excuse me...tall) coffee, also too strong for me, and using their free internet.
"Why don't you just stay at home and save the money and make your own coffee?" Sometimes I do. But sometimes I like to hang out at coffee houses and feel like a real writer. At Kreuzberg, they have portraits of poets and novelists all over the walls. It's a rather bohemian place (with a cool vibe, bad coffee and free internet).
"What's Jamey been up to?" Poor Jamey is still in shock. We just got our first bill from Cal Poly. I suppose this is when dads know college is "real" - when they have to start forking out the money. When he gets over being stunned, he will go back to leading the ministry at Poly, fixing things like our cars, fences, and old doorknobs that are always breaking, and mountain biking as usual.
I hope that this has answered some of your pressing questions!
