And in a few decades, after retiring and settling in life, he will open up a snarky blog about the cold war with China, complete with silly pics and colorful highlights. Thus, the saga continues.

Best wishes to your son, more seriously!

#2  twobyfour: I heartily recommend Bugmenot.com for free passwords. If you use a Mozilla browser, they even have a really good bookmarklet that I use all the time, but can't post here because it's java script.
