    My son and the environment

    I wanted to post this in Environment but maybe it's just a mother's bragging rights. My son (the high school drop-out) in his capacity as attorney for the Department of Clean Energy in my former state has been spearheading this initiative for off-shore windfarms.

    Can I call myself a proud mama? I know this is shameless. Please indulge me.

    You have plenty of reason to be proud!

    Good going -- both your part in getting your son to where he is today and his part in making this happen!

    That is a super great project, you should be proud! Btw my son is also a HS drop out and one of the youngest assistant managers in his grocery store chain.

    I'm proud of him, and I don't even know him!

    HS dropouts often bounce back, like my nephew the engineer...

    good for you. But more than not being the path of a typical high school drop out, which may be true, it's much more not typically the path of the typical law school graduate!

    hahaha, really though it's a hard place to keep idealism it seems.

    One of my son’s was also and has a master’s degree in math. My step son dropped out at 17 and went into the military. At 28 he is a officer and pilot. Some people are late bloomers.

    That's awesome! And smart that they are putting them as far offshore as they are. I don't think you can catch windmill cancer from 15 miles away.
