One is going to Yale, the other woodstock ... how fitting.

Nathan & Yale.

He was off to Yale this morning to meet the head of the Yale Pediatric Endocrinology & Diabetes Research Institute. They will be his doctors for the duration of our adventures in the Northeast. The awesome part is that the center is one of the best in the entire country. The bonus is that the care Nathan gets justs meets the end Yale seeks ... research. The big push at the Yale Center right now is developing an artificial pancreas among other things and Nathan could be given opportunities not normally afford to most patients. Nathan and argyle sweaters have been a common sight for most his life. I'm sure he would fit right into the Ivy League crested blazer crowd quite nicely.

Craig & Woodstock

On the other foot, Craig is going off to Woodstock for a 3 day 'Diversity Camp' next month. His class in school was chosen to attend, and he will learn team building, diversity, and inclusion while living it up in an outdoor classroom during the day (rock climbing wall included) and communally sleeping (boys / girls in separate cabins) at night. Showers will be limited to 3 minutes. Nature walks at lunch and Dinner one-ness with the earth treks at night highlight some of the activities. Oh, and I think they drop acid in the afternoon. Craig likes dirt. I'm sure he'll enjoy the hippie camp instead of sitting in class doing math.

  1. You forgot that Daniel will be headed off to Washington D.C. Now they are all in their element.

  2. Wow, you guys continue to have adventure after adventure. They all sound fun (with the possible exception of Nathan's doctor appointment), but that is great to be seen by the best!

  3. I've heard that schools back East are more 'enriching' that way. I'm jealous. We can go look at some cow dung out here, that about dows it for us.

  4. I like what I am hearing about Nathan and drs. As for Craig, "coombaya my lord, coombyaaaa...." although I would drop the acid first so I could really get into it. Peace my brotha!
