My son graduated HS tonight

Very proud of him. He's more like his mom in that he is reserved, analytical and just an incredibly sweet kid...or man. Damn, I'm not used to that yet. He listens twice as much as he speaks, if not more, so truly unlike dad.

He also probably understands decimal points and commas 1,00% better than his old man. But he hit the lottery and looks just like me, lol.
