This week I’m shedding a son and gaining a “daughter”

Posted by ATL User icon on August 9, 2026, 18:31:35

Dropping mini off at school on Friday but a close friend’s daughter (she calls me uncle but not even uncle - masa (torinese will get it)) got into Emory law off the wait list. We live a mile from campus. So she’s going to live with us until she gets an apartment. Orientation is on Wednesday.

This is going to be interesting.

2 week visit the Saturday after that.

It will be very very weird for it to just be us and Lil Taz.

1990, but I remember them as 80's movies. 1990 was such a lie.

Take a bow

I think, like with most things, Nirvana was the break point*

1989 was a great year to be an American, and arguably the best year to be an American Illini fan.

I will also accept arguments for 1946, 1953.

Two and a half weeks until Sprout’s move in day

It will definitely be strange not having him in the house. I’m hoping he takes advantage of it and doesn’t just sit in his dorm room all day.

I recall the first day of college being both liberating and terrifying at the same time

My mom kind of did everything for us growing up, so I felt like I was not prepared for the personality responsibility factor of being a college student.
