Zing #1 now successfully installed at college. Zing #2's move-in is next Monday.

Which means next Tuesday Mrs. Z and I are empty nesters -

with a little

too.

Awww, I bet that's kind of bittersweet.

When older bro went to college he cried and mom and dad cried when we left him there. It still chokes me up.

When they took me to drop me off, after everything was unloaded into my room, I was like "OK see ya be careful going home thanks for everything I love you so much...where's the party?"

Might be birth order. We had a very similar experience with Zings 1 & 2.

Pete Zicato · 09-08-2011, 10:09 AM

Zing #2 took 5 AP courses in her senior year. We just got mail that she has earned a certificate of AP Scholar with distinction from collegeboard.

Excellent. Does that involve money?

Spexxvet · 09-08-2011, 10:54 AM

Congrats, Pete

Griff · 09-08-2011, 11:06 AM

Cool!

No. No money, but looks good on a student resume.

In other news, Zing #1 is in her second year of college and is already a junior. It's the result of a bunch of AP courses and a couple of summer courses.

Wow!!! Lots to be proud of at the House of Zicato!

Aden was awarded best forward at his club footy presentation day, and Mav has been nominated for one of the big clubs for training and development over the next month.

ZenGum · 09-10-2011, 08:30 AM

Cool. Which code?

Aliantha · 09-10-2011, 09:12 PM

League of course. None of that sissy pingpong.
