Awesome! And also it's pretty embarassing to me that you've just pointed out that an 11 year old knows more about setting up his own blog than I do. Oh, well, it's still great to see a Mother and Son sharing something that is so fun.
I'm pretty sure 11-year-old boys don't like being called adorable, so don't tell him I said it's adorable, but it really is. And he sure has a lot more initiative than I did at 11. Very cool.
Wow -- very good. I know that the boy will Make Something of himself someday - he's off to a great start already. And he's already way smarter than some other bloggers and journalists!
He still thinks an awful lot about baseball, Lord of the Rings, all things outer space and the Simpsons.
But, thanks to his teacher, he is very aware of current events, more so than my 14 year old. He has a great interest in what goes on in the world and current events - he always has.
Billy, I meant to tell you in the last email that he has perfected his first song (some Dokken song), perfectly plays the riff from Immigrant Song and is now listening to some blues.

Now...I am truly impressed. Tell DJ to keep up the good work. At this rate, he'll be hosting his own local cable news show soon!

Oscar Wilde said, "The tragedy of women is that they all eventually become their mothers. The tragedy of men is that they do not."
Maybe the two of you can beat the odds.
Yaye, DJ!

I'm very impressed. Good job to both of you.
Still, I can't help thinking back to what I was thinking about when I was 11. Star Wars, Comic Books and G.I. Joe's.
Has the world really changed that much?

You know something is going right when a kid as intelligent as DJ actually uses his smarts to comment on/change/mess with the world.
Speaking of kids...What happened to Raising Hell?
