Hard to believe my son’s senior year is coming to a close so soon. He is reaching one of those endings that will be a big beginning. Adulthood. Technically he reached the age of majority last Fall, when he turned 18. But the boy has got a lot to learn. This afternoon we met with staff who will help him over next school year. He’s eligible to attend a fantastic transition program until he’s 21, to work on college and life prep, before moving on to community college. This year of prep will help him better take advantage of the free freshman year of college he qualifies for, when he’s ready for it. I am so thankful to have these supports in our school district.
Five Good Things for Tuesday:
- When I was graduating from high school the year was 1991 and the place was White Bear Lake. Back then I never would have imagined my suburban hometown would one day be home to a thriving all vegan bakery. And now Vegan East is expanding to Minneapolis, near where I live now. So my vegan teen can readily enjoy it.
- One of the best parts of summertime in Minneapolis? Free movies in the parks. The schedule is available now. Another summer program may not be the best idea for my health, but it sure sounds like fun. I pre-ordered my Passport Program booklet, for 2-for-1 craft cocktails all around town all summer.
- LOVE THIS: Thandie Newton Wore Star Wars Couture With a Message in Cannes: The actress’s dress for Solo’s Cannes premiere featured the franchise’s black characters.
- A while ago I learned Remi Malek had been cast as Freddie Mercury and had a good feeling about it. But I was downright elated after watching the first teaser trailer for Bohemian Rhapsody.
- So funny/amazing when friends’ songs end up in commercials or in movies or TV shows. This one is very silly. I haven’t watched Cobra Kai yet but now I might. Scene from Episode 5 with “Safe Word” by Vampire hands on Modern Radio’s release Me & You Cherry Red
Another highlight of the day? Finding something precious that I had misplaced, months later. It was one of the dreams my wonderfully weird Dad writes down for me. So I’ve started transcribing them again. This latest one features a surprise guest and weaponry. You can really tell we’re related.
