the 2012 trivial drivel thread

[LuciferLynn]

Last year, my oldest son was selected to participate in the Envirothon. That's a tri-county program where students from every school compete against each other in their knowledge of the area wildlife and environment. He placed fifth. A few weeks ago, one of the area colleges sent him a letter commending him on his performance and invited him to spend the day with them on their boat collecting data from the water on Lake Erie and from fish or other wildlife. Today is that day. I'm so excited for him, this is such a wonderful opportunity and they only offered this to 2 other students from the competition. Since he wants to be a marine biologist, this is will give him a taste of what they really do. He's going to love it. I'm so damn proud of him I could almost burst.
