Sneeking a peek…

Walking across campus after my morning class, I heard shouting and laughing that sounded a lot like young people’s voices.

Not college age young, which from my vantage point is very young, nor were the voices kid-let young.

No, these voices sounded like “teenager” young, and in fact, like “my” teenager.

Sure enough, I looked across the pasture, which is what we call it here, and saw my teenager and a bunch of his buds playing football—something that causes me high anxiety.

















I don’t know if he saw me—standing next to Ross Hall—taking photos.






















If he did, he ignored me, which he is pretty good at these days.






















I don’t know.

There’s just something really cool and comforting about strolling across campus and seeing your son, playing around with his buds.






















I have to ask: who is this tall, young man-boy, with his cap nonchalantly perched backwards...

I don't like to post photos of the teenager, but I figure he's too far away to recognize, unless you know him.

I think, in the second and third photos, his baseball cap looks a bit like a beret making him look a bit like Che.

On that note, his Spanish teacher told him his first day in class that he looks just like a young Pete Sampras.
