Boston is quite a town. Going there for “Move-In” day ain’t fun but the city is darn incredible as these clips show. Fenway Park, Charles River, and more. Enjoy. Who remembers Dirty Water by The Standells (in 1966) about Boston?

The Empty-Nest Road Trip Blues B-Vlog, Part 4
What is an e-book? Why did I make one? What did I use the word “make” instead of “write?” Because a REAL e-book is more like a multi-media show. Mine has photos, links, and videos all embedded within it. And, it’s available on Amazon or BruceSallan.com for $2.99 (Kindle Version) or $2.79 (PDF). It’s full title is “The Empty-Nest Road Trip Blues: An Interactive Journal from A Dad’s Point-of-View.” Here is Chapter Three, part 4, in this reading of the whole (short) book! Watch Now
Dad’s Cool
Dad gets a 2012 Ford Flex to take his son to college. Even though I’m NOT That Dad, I got one, too – on loan from Ford for our cross-country trip to Boston! I have to say I felt so cool!
TY @VoogDesigns for another Because I Said So comic strip! Do take advantage of his special caricature offer in our ad section (scroll down a bit on the right)!
The College Scam Hurts Us ALL
Human nature is such that when something doesn’t directly affect you, it’s easy to not pay attention. Such has been the case for this dad regarding the escalating costs of college, the incredible competition to get in, and all the bizarre and increasingly complex options to try and pay for it all. Maybe it’s a scam on us parents? Maybe it’s another bubble about to burst as some say about the over 1 trillion in student debt? All I know is we are paying a ridiculous fortune to send our first-born to a private college in Boston.
Graduation
It’s that time of season where our kids are celebrating graduation…from elementary school on to college. “Dad” did not use the amazing Jodi Okun (College Financial Aid Advisors) for advice on how to prepare, best practices for applying, and the smartest and diverse ways in which parents and potential students can get scholarships and/or financial aid. That is why “Dad” is sobbing.
