    Supposedly the book is pretty darn good. If anyone (or you know anyone) that likes "fantasy" genre (non-sexual), figured it couldn't hurt to post here:

    She's an amazing kid—HS Junior, straight As, math wiz kid, sound engineer, future chemical engineer, excellent writer, etc. I'm truly blessed:).

    Future Chemical Engineer? Loo-ser.

    Oh wait, my dad was a ChemE from Stanford and my middle daughter is a sophomore studying to be a ChemE at Northwestern. So your daughter sounds like a winner to me! Congrats!

    Midway through her senior year in H.S., my daughter says, "I'm going to be a ChemE, so how come you never told me your dad was a ChemE?"
    I reply, "How come you never told me you wanted to be a ChemE?"
    I am so not a helicopter parent.:rolleyes:

    Also, good writing skills do matter as an engineer. I used to feel my writing abilities were wasted as an engineer -- the old "yesterday I was studying to be an engineer, today I are one" -- but many more times they have come in extremely handy.

    Someone obviously worries that the wife is reading what he posts.:D

    My writing skills have come in handy just as much if not more so than my engineering degree. I'm working on a book myself that I think you'll find quite interesting.

    Wife is definitely more helicopter than me. We balance ea. other. Fortunately I don't have to worry about my kids doing the s*** I did @ their age:).
    Lol, she's actually amazing in so many ways (doesn't get on here but does follow both my Twitter "X" accounts:)).
