We’re getting really close to a college decision here at Chez Jaggers. And by we, of course I mean, the boy is really close to deciding because of course I have neither influence nor say in this decision and I reserve all of my personal opinions by keeping my big mouth shut. Ahem.

He has summarily rejected my offer to homeschool him for college. Even the promise of free tuition, room and board couldn’t keep him under my roof. I can’t say I blame him. My lectures tend to be a little dry. So’s this campus. (Bah-dum-dum. Thanks. I’m here all week.) I’d be heading out to a four-year myself.

The boy will visit the number one draft pick this Friday for “admitted freshman day” with his dad, who promises not to ogle the cheerleaders who will perform at orientation. Well, ogle, he may, but engage in conversation, he’d better not. We really don’t want him to be that dad. (How YOU doin? What’s YOUR major?). Yeesh. I guess it’s better than having me along, the mom who’d pout if not a single college boy fired on her.

So my guess is, by the end of Friday, we’ll know. The school in question is 161 miles from home (but who’s counting?). The guys will get up early and head out and probably not return until after dinner.

I wait, in suspense.
