Zeb update

[Guest guest]

Hi Group,

Zeb left for Mason University last Thursday. I had double events in two

different states this past weekend so I was unable to take him. A good friend

and ed consultant flew to Va with him. It was a busy week. I was trying to pack

trucks and trailers besides Zeb. I was also worried sick about my equipment with

the hurricane. Zeb kissed his dog before he walked out the door and cried most

of the way to the airport. We dropped them off that morning and the flight was

scheduled to leave on time. Shortly after they boarded the plane the flight was

delayed twice due to bad weather in Baltimore. They sat on the tarmac for two

hours. They rented a car and drove to Va about an hour drive. Zeb is living in a

townhouse with his own room and shares a bathroom. The ed consultant told me it

was quite nice and spacious. There is an RA at all times with the guys. He has a

bedroom in the finished basement. Zeb has to walk a block to catch the

university bus each morning. He calls about 2-3 times per day and says he loves

it. He was not thrilled with all the homework but tells me that he has a

homework tutor for 90 minutes every day after classes. The guys are planning to

have a Labor Day party. They have a nice deck with a gas grill, table and chairs

and a pool in the complex. So far so good. He may never want to come home. He

will be doing an internship with our state's Senator, Blumenthal in DC

this spring. He is thrilled but is not all too keen about wearing a dress shirt

and tie every day. Crossing my fingers that Zeb gets a few a scholarships.
