Our nephew, the one who suspended college, bought a dump truck, and went to help clean up Katrina with his brother, and who has been staying with us during the week (between class days), is graduating Dec. 19.

I believe he is getting a Bachelors in Uncertainty, Indecison & Doubt, with Minors in everything else.

He is the first in his family to graduate from college . . . ever . . . anyone.

I hope everyone thinks to make a big deal out of it, cuz he probably won't. Last week I asked him what he was gonna do in January, and he said, "I dunno. Probably sell more stuff on eBay."

He wants to stay at home, a little town of 700 in the thick of the sticks.

A guy there has a big eBay business and auction house, having a contract for Bass Pro returns and overstocks, and he has done extremely well.

Since the grad ceremony is early in the day, I sent out emails suggesting we all go to Silver Dollar City afterwards. No one answered the emails, but I just found out from DW that the answers have been Yes.

So I am scrambling to find passes and coupons and I have contacted SDC to see if they can make it a special occasion, maybe with a certificate and a group photo.

Before I found out about graduation, I had already planned the SDC outing with our FL vacation buddies and their fam for that date, so now we will doubling up . . .well, a little more than doubling.

Sounds like he is lucky to have you as an Uncle.

& versa vice

Just think, that rewriting of my Will that Tony was referring to this week, should be to his benefit.

He already owns 2 of the slips in the Margaritaville Dock.
