Sons sans nest

I have two sons, Max, born in 1978, and Alexander, aka Sacha, born in 1980. Max was born in California and Sacha in New Jersey. They were schooled in Italy and France and Max graduated from Dartmouth in 2000, an oughty-ought, as they say. Sacha is scheduled to graduate from Emory next year but hopes to do it faster. They flew the maternal nest a long time ago. My financial affairs are pretty much in order, though the same cannot be said for the paper disorder on my desk, shelves and in my files.
