Today, I moved my oldest of two children into his college dorm. As we were driving home, I began to wonder whether my house was half full or half empty now. I have always been the type of person who believed that the glass was half full instead of half empty. But today I started to think more like the pessimist when thinking about my house. In three more years, I will see my daughter off to her dorm wherever that may be and my house or I should say my children's rooms will definitely be empty.
I'm not sure how I am going to like the empty feeling. Of course, Bill Cosby says they all come back home again so maybe this is a half full kind of moment since they will be back. Or maybe, the glass is half full and my house is half empty.

I'm about to have that same reality moment, when we take Kelsey to her new residence on Saturday. I have pushed the thinking on that back a while. Most of my days are spent in hard factual business analysis, but this one. To paraphrase an old saying, 90% of this experience is half mental.
