You missed my joke! HA, shame for not capitalizing!

OK, so my "joke" was actually your joke. I got it now.

She finished her last final and with it her first year. She's blown away at how fast it went.

Can't wait to see her (in between all the things she's going to do this summer).

The college woman just got home. She looks so good that I just started laughing at her. Vicki got my laughing right away: she just looks like she's become a hell of a woman.

She really, really, really wanted a long board for her 19th birthday present. Yeah, I told her about Uber's broken ankle from long boarding. I told her about falling and broken wrists. I tried to steer her toward something safe (like climbing).

But you can't tell kids anything these days. At least she looks happy. Pretty darn happy actually, unless I miss my mark:

Great gift!  Somebody in your family needs to know how to skate!

Although Vicki already posted this on Bookface (and so some of you may have seen it), it's one of our favorites of little Katie. Little? Yeah, at one month old. And Tomorrow she's 19:

A good day is when Katie comes home for a visit.

A great day is when she asks if I can take the afternoon off work to go hiking with her.

A terrific day is when she suggests the top of Cooper Peak as our hiking destination (it's on the north edge of the Emigrant Wilderness, and the views today were at least 60 miles).

An unbelievably fantastic day is when we get to take both dogs and it's Halifax's first Sierra summit:

Tell Katie we're all stoked that she's getting out with 'uncool' Dad.

I bitterly resemble that remark.

She and I went to breakfast at Alicia's today; then I trundled off to work and she started back down to start her second year at college.
