Don't be too upset Vickie.  Kids that age all seem to suffer from the
grass is greener somewhere else syndrome.  It will take him a while to
come to his senses.  I swear that with my boys that the term "brain
dead" described them from about 10 till ????  the oldest seems to be
able to think now, he's 26 the youngest is now able to think as long as
you stay on one of 4 or 5 subjects.

Thats probably just about the right length if you are use to staying in
the saddle all day.  The thought of staying in the saddle all day is
enough to make me cringe.  I wouldn't be able to walk the next 2 or 3
days.  Make that I wouldn't be able to move.

Giggle.  Did you ever get to watch him do it?
