Wild Card/Tuesday 8.16.11

Was a bit anxious yesterday as my 19-year-old son spent his first day on his new job as a commercial roofer. He’s living on his own (well, sharing an apartment with his older brother) and working hard to save money for school.

Still this job had me worried. I was relieved when Alex texted me at the end of his 10-hr day. He’s working with a crew roofing the new school in Medical Lake and said the job was tedious, but not too hard. “It’s worse on the older guys,” he said. “They’re like 30!”

Hard for me to believe the baby who once wore a Bob the Builder tool belt, now has genuine tool belt of his own.

Here’s your Wild Card.
