...Yogi Berra, "It's like deja vu all over again."
August 1979, the original family of Geoguy piles into a Chevy Suburban and transports the elder Geosister to her dorm at The University of Texas.
August 1986, Geoguy and Geodad travel 240 miles south on Interstate 25 in the aforementioned Suburban containing many of the former's belongings. Destination: dorm room at New Mexico State University.
Today, all three members of the current Geofamily travel to Colby, Kansas to help move Geogal's Items Essential For College Living to her dorm room. Included in the two-vehicle caravan is a Chevy Suburban (but not the same one as in the prior mentions).
That's right. For the next year I will be doing the "single-father" thing while Geogal pursues her dream. I take comfort in the fact she's less than a 90-minute drive away and experience has taught us we can endure just about anything for a year when there's a larger goal in place. After discussing many different living arrangements we finally agreed the dorm was the best route. Don't have to worry about utility payments, can walk to class even if a snowstorm hits the area, and is either the same cost or less expensive then living in one of the several (crappy) apartments in the area.
Hey, we're not so glum. We will still see her on the weekends.
