Thanks for asking. He's doing pretty well, has one year of college under
his
belt now, and is working two jobs this summer to earn money for the fall
semester. He's also about half-way through a fairly ambitious project on
his
car ('96 Firebird, 3600 V6): swapping out the automatic transmission for a
five-speed stick. Car's up on jackstands in the garage now. I'll be
helping
him put the manual transmission in there tomorrow evening after he gets
home
from work.

A pontiac firebird, eh? A classic muscle car. And since pontiacs are now an
endabgered species, it will probably be worth some money someday.

Tell him to take care of it and it will turn into an investment of sorts one
of these days.

And he is one of the good ones. He is gonna make you proud of him, again and
again.
