A Day After Gregorysms Day

This one can't go untold, because it had our whole table laughing out loud in BJ's.

As Gregory - the constantly finished off one - was sitting quietly listening while his sister Kelli was running her mouth about this new guy, then said something about taking a day off from communicating with the guy - Gregory remarked out of nowhere

"Whoa - I just got dizzy from the amount of ignorance from this table."

Since everyone knew he was referring to his sister, who he loves dearly - it was quite funny. What can you say? He's Greg. He checked into his new school today. Cal State LA. He's a hard hard worker, and smart too.

My birthday was special yesterday.

Ciao Y'all

Loving Gregory

Today I was challenged for my silence about Gregory's decision to attend Cal State Los Angeles. I was told that he would get a useless degree and I should not allow this. My first instinct was to accept and go forward, but then I thought - NO I won't accept this. Truth be known, we all as individuals are allowed to choose our own paths.

What I have handed down to those who would listen was to make sure you are ready to accept the consequences for your decisions. Maybe out of all the schools Gregory could have applied to and did not - Cal State LA is not amongst the elite, but I believe Gregory is ready to accept the consequences for his decisions. All I want for him is to live well and prosper. For him to be allowed to live well and prosper without being judge.

His concern was getting through COC - a local junior college - he's done just that and held down two jobs while doing it. Although he's the epitome of finished off when all of this is said and done on any given day - he's done great and I am proud of him!
