He's 16, still at High School....  

But he figured out a while ago that language studies have benefits  ;).  

He's off to stay with his German exchange family.  Much to the detriment of my bank balance  [laugh] [bang]

I am.    [thumbsup]

It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.
