2008 is shaping up to be a year of significance for members of the Kenney clan.

My brother has been touring the country seeking to find the perfect Psychology internship program for him. He's completed his coursework and dissertation and all that jazz for his PhD from the University of Texas. Recently he travelled to Seattle, New York, Buffalo, and Houston to look into VA internships. He'll have a year of internship before he actually becomes a productive member of society.

My father is nearing the end of a 9 year career working for Dobson Communications (which was recently acquired by AT&T). Will he retire and pilot a houseboat on the magical national waterway which can take you from Muskogee, OK all the way to Florida and then to Maine? Will he build a ham radio tower on a mountain-top in rural OK? Will he go back into private practice? No one knows...
