sam is coming home

sam, my amazing, awesome, incredible son, is homeward bound. he's been in norway studying for the past six months and traveling through europe and having an other-continent experience. i can't wait to see how he's changed and what his perceptions are once he returns to the states. he said a few weeks back in an email that he couldn't wait to get home because it's 'so cheap.' With gas prices over $4 a gallon it's hard for me to believe he thinks it is cheap here but compared to the way the dollar has been going against the euro never mind the kroner which is the norwegian currency, he has a point. in any case, now i have to clean his blinds and air out his room and get ready for the sound of drums all the time. did i mention he's a big fan of metal rock? should be a fun, noisy summer.
