I grabbed two shots from Katie's Book Face page. This one goes here, she's on an Excursion Club hike in October.

She's just doing great down there and I am so damn proud of her (don't know who the kid in front of her is):

You should be proud. What she is doing with the "club" is great.

The kid in front of her looks too innocent. Send your "guy" after him to find out what he is really up to.

You know, with my Katie, I don't need to. With her, if any guy is "up to" something, it's because it was OK with her.

Part of Katie's text message exchange with Vicki from this afternoon (should I be worried about my daughter?):

She will never get hired in Yemen with those expectations.

After a weather delay, I'm off to Red Rocks this afternoon. By way of U.C.S.B.

I get to spend tomorrow hanging out with my oh-so-cool college girl. And, as I hear it on the phone, she's really looking forward to it (and, naturally, I am too).

Katie's still involved with the Excursion Club (of course). She's still a staff member for the club, leading trips. I'll get to see the Excursion House and meet a bunch of her friends (although I've already met her friend Katie; the friend who is mentioned below).

But that's not the question for this post. The question for this post is: should I tell Katie that her mother specifically violated her instructions?

What instructions you ask?  :D  ;D

These instructions (the photos below are from Vicki and Katie's text message exchange; they are cropped - in one case seriously cropped - since this is a family site). First photo:





Second photo (the two Katies):

I'm not all that shocked that Katie has long, pretty legs. I'm not so shocked that she'd pose in a bikini for a calendar. It seems normal now that she's off at school, drives, goes to classes and does all the adult stuff.

But on September 3rd of this year she'll turn 20. Twenty years old. Holy crap how can that have happened?

Sitting in her comparative eastern religions class with her right now. They're all kids! One of them is having his diaper changed. The lecturer can't be more than 35 years old.

By the way Mud, I assume you moved that stupid thread from the Pinnacles section to here? Good call at least moving it to here, although deleting it would have been better (but then again, maybe not; then we get into the whole censorship thing).

Probably 60. It's a lecture. The auditorium's about half full.

I've singlehandedly increased the average age in the room by at least five years.

Well how cool. Katie Pip will be here in less than an hour. She'll be here until after Christmas. Both girls in the house again for a while.

I wonder if she'll recognize what's covering our driveway (it's an inch of solid ice that's simply not melting).

She's now 7/12 done with college.

I can damn near hear you giggling as you typed all those threes.

And it's 1990s, with no apostrophe.
