Over New Years Eve this year we went down to South Carolina (17 hour drive). Now Nathan is talking about flying out to New York, seeing the Statue of Liberty, seeing the Trade Center site, stopping down to Washington DC and seeing everything there. He wants to take the President out for lunch. Then it is down to Cape Kennedy to see the space shuttle launch, bop on over to Disney World, and to top it off visit a water park. He asks thousands of questions on why, how, who, what, etc.... He reads everything at age 8 and is like a sponge for knowledge. I know that he is going to take all of this stuff in, shake it around in his brain and come up with something amazing some day. The pastor in our church was talking about people who were thought they were not going to amount to anything based on how many times they failed. I think that the list was one taken from potential ADHD: Thomas Edison, Albert Einstien, Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln, Walt Disney people. See if this list is familiar. Miles

YES !! Everyone you mentioned is on the Famous adhd'ers lists that I have seen!! ... There are many of them on the web and they all include those names... I loved to read about Nathan's "travel bug" ... It sounds like he will be doing a lot of that when he gets the chance !! ... and I also laughed aloud when I saw he wanted to take the President out for lunch!! ;D .. and WHY NOT? I say!!
