I’m thinking that sometime in the summer of ’11 he’ll be ready to wear the laminated “solo kid plane traveler” card around his neck as he makes his way out to California to spend his first weekend bummin’ around with “Uncle Dan-Dan”.

Let me know if he’ll need to do any sort of homework between now and then to be fully ready for the one-on-one Meyer Experience.

What? What? You mean I actually missed one of dem wunderkinds? Guess the ol’ radar must be getting a tad rusty as I spend my free time playing in the garden with my 13 month old rather than at the keyboard.

Thanks for the lead on this brilliant photographic ace. Good to have one’s breath taken in such a visual way.

Curious. Aren’t you finding it even more amazing that being “just seventeen” is becoming less and less of a “oh, my” moment these days?

And yet — a slight wonder — how many of these same kids are drowning in traditional worksheet avalanches back at their old school desk while staring out a virtual window on the rest of their day/evening that offers them zero limits and legitimate real-world feedback/opportunity?

Cheers from the caffeine-free side of the conversation. Keep up the good work, Dan. You’re making me pleased I still — on occasion — take a peek at “all this crazy blogging business”.
