Well, I'll ask about food preferences. For breakfast,we usually have oatmeal or toast, I sometimes have eggs on my own. We don't have a coffee maker, but drink tea. Lots of coffee places around for coffee needs,too. I'll add that Robert's work has a good cafeteria with reasonable prices. If Alex feels the need for meat, I'll take him out somewhere. Chris & yr parents can attest that we don't have a big house, but I'm sure we can deal with that... We have an extra bike he can use. We only have one car,BTW. I work at home so I need the computer room starting around 7 am weekdays. I work with real electronic medical records with patient information that others are not allowed to see. Just FYI. That's all I can think of at the top of my head. Congrats on getting into UMass. Noelle
