More Wyatt

I'm having the greatest time traveling with my son. I love traveling with him. Not necessarily doing anything specific, just traveling. It took months for him to come around to the idea of visiting colleges in real time. It took awhile to get him to agree to take off a few days from high school. But here we are, on the road. Carnegie Mellon, Lehigh, Penn and B.U. in a couple of days. Planes, trains and automobiles. So far so good. So far really enjoying this different moment.

With all this one-on-one time, different from the constant sports banter he and his Dad enjoy, he told me about his computer class blog. I looked, I cracked up. I loved it. He won't allow me to print the name (trust me, as he says, "it's genius,") or link to it, but he said I could share the first post:

It begins...

My name is Wyatt. Now that i have a blog i feel like i have a personal relationship with every other person in the world. I hope you share this deep connection with me. Now that the formalities are out of the way I would like to introduce you to the class that started it all. While i was once incapable of doing anything productive on a computer, computer applications with Mr. Bjerke has taught me otherwise. I have learned how to make myself known, and you dear reader, should let yourself be known back to me. The computer is no longer the gateway to games and porn, it is now the gateway to knowledge and the betterment of life. So dear reader, i am signing off for today but i looked forward to the relationship that we will share and build for the rest of our lives.
