My Daughter Taking A Break From Helping Save Us From Covid

[aquadoc]

My oldest who is a research scientist in Denver working on Covid-19 and other nasties. She is taking a break this weekend by summiting Quandary Peak in Breckenridge, CO. 14200 ft. Said it was a bit windy and cold. Hence the purple lips. Ok, not at all tobacco oriented. Just a proud dad. She starts Medical school next year and will be moving here to the Northeast to go to school in Boston.
Just a proud dad moment. Apologies for polluting the board with non-tobacco post.

Proud Dad indeed! and rightly so. She seems like she's got her head on straight and a great future ahead of her. Not polluting the board at all............ that's what the general discussion section is for, plus we all enjoy these kinds of posts............ kind of personalizes the forum a bit.
That's a great picture, and I can't believe how blue that sky is, but I'm from Ohio, and we never get skies that look like that!................

Taking foolish pride in one’s daughter is one of the great pleasures in life! I am in the same boat— I have an 18 year old daughter who is currently volunteering in a kindergarten classroom in Greece during her gap year.

Every time I hear from her, think of her, or see a picture of her, it makes my heart sing.

Hell no, if that’s your version of pollution, pollute on.

This is also a board about life.

A well deserved break indeed. Tell her thank you for working on this nasty Covid-19. Because of people like her, we'll beat this. Well done Dad, you did good.

Good for her and even better for you for posting about her. Sounds like a great young lady which generally means there was some very good parenting going on along the way. Congrats!

Be Proud, you've entitled, I'm proud for you.

That's what the General Discussion category is for! It sounds like your daughter has talent and a plan. I bet you'll be glad to have her back in Boston.

Thank you everyone!

Saving the world from disease and a winter mountaineer to boot? Sounds like you raised a heckova kid!

You are a proud papa and have a right to be! Congrats on raising a great daughter.

We seem to have such a need for stronger family values as of late. Awesome parenting to raise such a wonderful daughter. It is people like her (and you) that give me hope for the future.

Congrats man she sounds quite motivated.

My wife and I love hiking the mountains. Can’t wait until we can get back out there.

Kudos to you and your daughter. You raised a winner, that doesn't just 'happen'. I for one welcome that kind of pride pollution to the board. ?

 

[LOREN]

You have every right to be proud. Congratulations!
