Let me tell you a funny story that happened last weekend when I was dropping my daughter off at college.  It was Saturday night after the holiday weekend so most of the students were not returning until the next day so the place was pretty much deserted.  Anyway, we get to her door and she fishes around her backpack for her dorm room key, finds it, then proceeds to try to open up her door.  Well, the door would not open, puzzled, tried again, then noticed that the key was bent in half.  Ha!  How did that happen?  Anyway, she searched out her RA to see if they had an extra key to her room, they did not since it was a holiday weekend.  The RA did have a master key and was able to let her in.  To make a long story shorter, I was able to bend back the key by placing it on the floor and slowing applying pressure down on the bent key with the bottom of my shoe until it was able to fit in the key hole and unlock the door.  Ah what fun, college daze...

Today, my daughters 1997 Honda civic EX just crossed the 250,000 miles benchmark.  This car which we bought from my brother at 240,000 miles runs like new.   The car was first purchased with over 130,00 miles on it for my nephew which he used it for college at UCF (Florida) and then turned it over to his sister (my neice) for a few years.  Then when visiting them 2 years ago I saw it in the driveway (240,000 miles) with a for sale sign on it.  So since my daughter was turning 16 I inquired about it and bingo, bought it on the spot.  We drove it back from Florida to Baltimore where we live and she has been driving locally school and such.  Anyway, she is off at college now so I have been driving it every few days to keep it warm.  Today, the speedometer hit 250,000 and I must say this car runs like new.

Today, I helped my daughter move into her dorm room at college.  It was a very exciting experience for a parent and loved every minute of it.  It was quicker than I had thought it would be, I guess it is true when they say time flies when your having fun.  Seems that the last 18 years flew bye too fast.  I am really excited for her, a new beginning, a new dream, a new life.  But now that I am home I miss her already!  Geesh, get a grip dad, it's only been a few hours!  Love ya sweetie!
