So, my daughter just moved there. What is there to do? She's already way impressed with the redneck street lights that hang from wires.
 
She will be very lonely if she doesn't have any first cousins to date.
 
There's four things that come to mind when I think of Kentucky:

Incest, chicken, horses, and their really good college team the Louisville Cardinals.

Yes. I shall not name the school for fear of getting negged to oblivion by the local post hound.

I'm happy for her. She smartly chose to go to the best school of the state. What undergrad is she doing?

BS with the ultimate goal of getting her MBA. She graduated high school early and already has a semester of college under her belt and she's not even 18 yet. She decided that SLCC was a bust and moved up the food chain. Must take after her mom because I couldn't have done the same at her age.

Smart girl. I had a lot of courses completed via AP exams going into University as well. It seems like she probably has a good work ethic-- which is probably the most important skill to have when it comes to things like this.

I'm going into the third year of my BS, and my brother is gonna be doing his MBA pretty soon. At my school though, most people don't get a BS degree if they're getting an MBA. They'll either get a BA, or a business undergrad degree. But every school works differently
 
PS: congrats to you and the old lady, Oreillycephalus. I definitely hope that my kids will be on track like yours.

You never know. My oldest was dead set against college up until the week before she graduated high school and all of the sudden it was like a switch flipped on. She didn't even take the summer off and dove right into school. Granted, it was ITT but I think for her personality it was the right fit. She had her bachelors by the time she was 22 and now at 25 she makes more money in a year than I make in 2.

The 19 year old seems to be just coasting through life at the moment. Has a full time job but still lives at home and doesn't seem to be progressing.

The 17 year old, she was the one I thought for sure would get married right out of high school and start pumping out babies. She started taking concurrent classes her senior year of high school and decided she really liked it so really dove in, finished early started college classes in Feb of last year.

I hope your kids turn out well too. Give them a good foundation and hope they make the right choices. That's what you CANNOT control.

You have 3 daughters? You poor, poor soul. I think I'd have a full head of greys by age 35 raising only one.


I think your last sentence resonates most with me. It's what seems to be common with most kids on the right track. As a parent, you just gotta raise them in the best environment possible, and pray that they don't veer off track
 
Some of the best restaurants in the country. Check out Bardtown Rd/Baxter Ave.

Check out Huber's Orchard and Winery across the river in Indiana (my family owns it).

New Albany, IN has become a very cool place to go in the evenings.

4th street live.

Churchill downs runs races near year round.

Lots of cool caves and stuff (biggest in the world).
