That's awesome. Congratulations to Emmett, and to his family.
Good news on the interview, ita.
Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Is he excited about college? What kind of a program is he entering? (forgive me if I should know this, mind like sieve you know)
He's cautiously excited about college. Not as gung ho to go as I was. He loves his friends in High School. He told me I couldn't look at his Yearbook because of things people wrote about him but I took peek anyway. He's well loved by his friends in return.
He's interested in kinesiology, and Sonoma State has a good program for it. Most importantly for him, Sonoma State was voted as having the best college dorm rooms in the country. Woot! One of their townhouse suites shared by 6 students.
It's a pretty campus, and while he won't play on the college baseball team (which is Div 2), they have a club team that he wants to play for.
It's only an hour away, so far enough away to avoid drop-ins, but close enough for Matilda to visit and vice versa.

Since it's in wine country and gets a lot of monetary support from the wine industry, all the residential villages are named after wines and territories.
There's a good chance he'll wind up in Zinfandel village.

Our wings are not tired.
That sounds ideal! It is a very exciting time. Bobby is studying physical therapy. He is always showing off his knowledge of anatomy around me. I think he knows every single muscle and bone and so forth at this point.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanks for the congrats, guys.
I did put everything into a nice spreadsheet.
Mine's filed in Evernote. I wish that could come up in interviews.

My dad did PT for his first seven years in the Air Force, rehabbing guys who came back from the Korean War. So Emmett is not just a fourth generation catcher, he might have physical therapist in his blood.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
My lord, Emmett is graduating? That's just not possible. Congratulations to all who love him.

My sister and some of her friends wanted to switch to PT to get closer to the sports teams. None of them did, but I did later meet one woman who went into it with that as her motivation.
And now I have a cousin who PTs the Jamaican fucking Olympic sprinting team, and...shit, what choices did I make?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Congrats to Emmett!
