We got there and he got signed in and photographed and then directed to the room. I was told that I was welcome to the parent orientation scheduled later this summer. Yeah, okay I get it. I made sure he found the room and got settled and then I left him. When Heather and I came back he was all smiles and so I think things went well. We had told him that this was college, not high school, and if he needed to get up and take a break or whatever that he could just do so and not worry about getting sent to see the principal. The freedom is a little disconcerting to him but he is rapidly getting used to it.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Logan opening up checking account\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/27847743236\/in\/dateposted\/\" data-flickr-embed=\"true\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/c5.staticflickr.com\/8\/7400\/27847743236_69ee108ce1_z.jpg\" alt=\"Logan opening up checking account\" width=\"360\" height=\"640\" \/><\/a><script src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" async=\"\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>And then we went to our bank so he could open up a checking account. Last time I opened up a checking account was about twenty four years ago and I will tell you that things have changed considerably since. The bank officer we talked to was great. He was very patient with us and Logan as we worked through the process and evaluated the various options available and asked a lot of questions. You know, I have gotten to enjoy the small mercies of people who are kind and the man was very kind.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Family Selfie\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/27277029604\/in\/dateposted\/\" data-flickr-embed=\"true\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/c5.staticflickr.com\/8\/7192\/27277029604_92e0b828e2_z.jpg\" alt=\"Family Selfie\" width=\"360\" height=\"640\" \/><\/a><script src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" async=\"\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>And the Friday night we took Logan to his first ever major concert. We went to see James Taylor at the BOK Arena. Taylor put on a heck of a show. He sang about 25 songs in two sets over the course of two and a half hours. He sang a lot of his old tunes and few of his new tunes. He came across as genuine with a wry sense of humor and a generous manner. Much of it was over Logan&#8217;s head as he has no history but he was a good sport even though the concert went on a for a long time and it was kind of crowded.<\/p>\n<p>So, he was exhausted but it was a big day for him. Driving lessons are coming up soon. That is when his Dad is going to get nervous.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This past Friday\u00a0was a big day for son Logan. \u00a0First he had to get up bright and early for his college&#8217;s new student orientation.
