Gone a week

The transition to being empty-nesters has gone smoother than I had expected. It's been a week since Kathie and I took Ben to college. He's adjusting extremely well and seems to be in his element.

For us, e-mail and IM'ing have been a godsend, as we exchange messages regularly and all enjoy the regular contact. As I think back, it must have been extremely hard on my mom, not having e-mail and me being an infrequent telephone caller. The technology has certainly enhanced our communications capabilities.
