Making that trip is absolutely doing something and I will swear to that on a stack of OEDs.
Congrats to you and your kid! The City College architecture program is one my 13yo occasionally dreams about (and as you know, there is nothing like seeing your name in print).
Thanks! My kid fell in love with City College playing Lego Robotics in that glorious gothic Student Center - he has wanted to go there since he was your son's age!
Congrats particularly to your son for his architecture admission to grad school....Was reading in Balzac ("Lost Illusions") how when we say something, we convince ourselves much more of it than when we merely think it. He talks of lawyers being taken in by their own eloquence, I believe. So, while those conflicting voices can be tormenting, I am thankful that I have them and am able to change my mind and grow. That I have a lab, and don't have to always go out in the world right away.
Canada feels so incredibly normal except for the constant barrage of questions about our administration ranging from "are they idiots" to "why aren't there demonstrations 24/7"

"Convincing oneself" bears thought.
I need to visit our best friend Canada as well. And congrats on all the interviews and the story acceptance!
