Took Rube Jr out to dinner after the movie last night to a really great steakhouse. She mentioned that she definitely moved out too soon and it was stupid. I never say "I told you so" to anyone because I think it's generally unhelpful and cruel, buti was happy to hear it. Happy because she is reflecting on her choices and taking personal responsibility for them. I wish things would have happened differently but everything considered she is doing really well.
Something else interesting--she lives with two young women now in a sketchy neighborhood. She's taken all of my slogans with her and tells her friends:
-head on a swivel
-one earbud
-Constant Vigilance
Her friends tell her she's crazy but I know she goes through the city projecting confidence and alertness. Any interview you hear with former muggers/pickpockets teaches you it's much easier to target someone who isn't paying attention or who looks scared.
She's applying to my trade next week and is very excited. "But then you're going back to college?" her dad asks in alarm. Ha! Going to be a lot harder once she starts stacking paper without debt.
