Exhaustion is setting in. Sandra and I returned home last night from Worcester at midnight. It was raining fairly hard and made driving very difficult. We had dinner with Nathanial at a Chinese restaurant call Nancy Chang's. It was very good. We had lomaine, brown veggie rice, mushroom, snow pea veggies and deep pot shrimp and scallops. The seafood was amazing. Nathaniel (my son) and I both said "WOW" at the same moment, he biting into a shrimp and me into a scallop.
He has told Sandra and I he would like to switch majors from English to Music. At first the idea was pretty horrible. Ever since he was a little kid I tried to imagine him at a professional job making a nice living and not having to endure the stress of a creative live. But, it's ok. It is his destiny and I am in full support of whatever he wants to do with his life. I can try to guide him and give him useful insights but he makes the final decisions.
He is talented in not only music but also drawing, photography, writing, etc. We spent a few hours discussing mostly the cons of becoming a music major and then getting a masters in education and how much this will cost and how little he will get paid. It didn't disuade him. He said there is nothing else he wants to do, nothing.
So I am enthused and encouraged he has such a passion.
