    Tomorrow starts a new chapter in my life. I finished teaching the last Crime Analysis course and finish my preparations of becoming a college student a week from today. This should be interesting.....

    At my age, I might attend a couple Geritol parties, but that's about it!

    Nice Mark!

    I thought the new phase in your life might have been "Loosing to Fitz in the Buck Challenge" :tu:

    Sorry Fitz, you're going to get stomped so bad, therapy won't be able to help you out. I plan on having 2 bucks down by November 10th.

    Good luck with that one. My wife started some of those classes last year and got so disgusted with her teachers she ended up quitting. Her taste was more like I'm sure your is: nature and the like. Her teachers were into the modern/city scene. They just didn't see eye to eye.

    Hope you have someone with a more open mind.

    John, I'm at that age where if they can't see eye to eye with me, I don't have a problem with opening their eyes for them.:lol:

    Thanks all. Today I had another meeting with my VA Rep, got my Navy, Army and Air Force transcripts along with transcripts from a community college I attended 20 years ago sent to the school. Afterwards my son and daughter in law took us out to dinner to celebrate the double nickel anniversary of my birth. Tomorrow I tackle tracking down my SAT scores and high school transcripts.

    If you don't mind me asking Mark, what college are you attending? Just wondering cause I live in Appanoose county.

    I'll be attending Grand View University in Des Moines. Ranks up there with Drake University so it should be a good place to get a degree from.
