These are the adventures of an east coast family who moved 'due west' to a new frontier--to the small university town of Laramie, Wyoming. We continue to enjoy our new adventure and continue on our mission: to explore the world west of the Mississippi, to seek out new friends, to go boldly where (many) others have gone before, and most of all...relish and enjoy the journey!

School’s out—for summer…
Tomorrow is the last day of school here in Albany County.
Why it’s called Albany County and not Laramie County, which is the next county over near Cheyenne, is beyond me.
Anyway, tomorrow is the teenager’s last day, although he claims he is not going.
The kids are going to Jimmy John’s, a local sandwich joint, for the morning, which is about as long as the day lasts.
The teenager wants this to be his last day, and I think we might let him have his way.
It feels a bit weird, to have school end the second day of June. The teenager’s old schools in Virginia, practically run to the end of June.
For the past several years on his last day of school, the teenager has come home to play Alice Cooper’s hit—"School’s Out"—for several hours on Guitar Hero.
It will be interesting to see if he does so this year.
If he doesn’t, I’ll be a little sad, as it’s just another indication that everything is changing and nothing will ever be the same with my little dude.
Sigh...
