Happy Nerdy Success!

And I mean that as a sincere compliment. (Two nerds get married and birth more nerds. It seems to be a dominant trait.) Check out that cool tie! Thrift store, yes! Suit $15 bought the night before after going through all the closets and not finding one that fit him. Light blue shirt, thrift store years ago--one of John's favorite shirts because I like the way it matches his eyes and he likes that I like that and wore it more--but if fits his son better now. Stewart graduates this year from the Science & Math Academy. Their final project is comparable to a thesis project. Many hours of work with a mentor. Specific budgets. Wonderful application potential. Think SUPER science fair for scary smart nerds.

Senator Nancy Jacobs looking at his project. Moving the venue to the cafeteria was brilliant, more space to move among the 42 projects, mentors, families, community visitors. Professionally catered. Very nice event.
I know Dwayne gets it. The rest of us are struggling with the mechanical engineering vocabulary. Check out Stewart's clever water bottle holder. That's my boy!
