I went to Sam's last choir concert last night. He was the tallest of all the kids there, well over 6' 2" in his dress shoes. It was interesting watching him joke with friends and sing with some enthusiasm, quite the contrast to the relatively shy sixth grader. I think I managed to go to every one of his concerts over the years. The sixth graders in last night's presentation sang the same songs Sam did three years before.

Sam is now 6' 1" and perhaps halfway to 6' 2". It's strange walking alongside this massive young man who I once carried around in one hand.He's in his last days at Roosevelt, crazy busy with final projects. Tonight I'm taking him to his final choir concert and helping him with his poetry assignment. I think he's starting to really look forward to summer.Last night we walked down to South Eugene High School for the 9th grader introductions. The school seemed massive to Sam, and to be honest it appeared pretty big to me as well. Somehow we crammed the cafeteria full of new students and their families, many of whom were familiar to me. The nostalgia was intense as I pointed out the murals in the hallways, which were new and which had been there over 25 years ago.I'm proud of Sam. He's grown into an interesting, funny person that I love hanging out with.
