Ian will be living here starting on Monday. My college plans will have to wait for another couple years and I'll be staying here in Caldwell. There's an encouraging "alternative" high school that he should be able to attend in April, hopefully, otherwise next year for sure.

If anybody wants to be his "warden" for part of the summer, I'm taking applications. He's 16 tomorrow, so pesky child labor laws aren't such a problem. I am happy to have him back, don't get me wrong - I've missed him something awful - but I'm not at all naive about what getting him to graduation without taking a little vacation at the juvenile detention center is going to require. Frequent moral support is requested - for me and for him, I'm sure.

On the positive side, the Acousticats live on! (Ian will be a groupie at all practices)
