Just got back very early this morning from dropping my son off to start college in the northeast. Great opportunity and coming experiences for him and a lot of sadness and emotions for his parents. That green will likely be gone soon so he is enjoying it while he can.

Thanks for letting me share here.

Nick,

I totally get it. We dropped ours off last year. Happy and Sad emotions.

 

Hey Nick - lose those black Dad socks and you would almost fit right in on campus.

 

I might just have a kid so I can look forward to getting rid of him!

 

Google helped me ID Dartmouth. Nice.

 

It's a major milestone for both student and parents. Congrats to all!

 

Congrats Nick...Im not looking forward to taking my son next year

 

How does that work?

 

You have to have chocolate to sacrifice to The Google. Once appeased, The Google will tell you anything you want to know.

 

reverse photo search.

 

Yeah. Click on camera icon in Google Image search page. You can then drag the photo to easily enter the url.

 

What watch did you wear to drop him off?

 

This one, in part because it is one of my son's faves and in part because one of the world's leading FF experts and collectors happens to coincidentally live in the tiny town of 11,000 or so (without students?) where the college is (we met when my son visited there last year and he had some great FFs).

 

Your killing it with that story. WOW!

You shared that watch with us at the GTG a few months back.

Looks like a nice graduation present.

 

Love that watch. When my oldest son graduated from Texas A&M, I gave him a similar watch as his present. The Blancpain 1000. Not near the value but it brought tears to his eyes. My youngest who is going to Texas now got wind of it and has already picked out an Autavia....

 

You guys are the best. I was just there for 3 days, went by that building 20 times, and had no idea that was the name of that tower. Too much time trying to make his ancient dorm room (100 yards from there) livable. I didn't even get to play at the school's golf course, which looked pretty nice!

 

Columbia shows up on TV and movies quite a bit. I can ID it with very little shown. I have never been to Hanover though.

Now can anyone ID Bernard's location?

 

Could have been me and my son standing there.....

Dropped him off in Stockholm 4 years ago exactly. Quite an interesting mix of emotions involved. He's in Beijing now, as an exchange student. Taking courses in their equivalent to Harvard. Boy, am I proud of him or what

 

I am at least 15 years away from getting there but looking forward to it
