But what do we do if Sagan decides to be an artist, or a police officer, or thinks that a career in selling insurance is just the thing?
I'm not a pushy parent, I don't care which Nobel prize he wins
Even if it's the Peace Prize?? Your boy is lucky!! My mother is still waiting for my Nobel (physics) which will come as soon as I win the lottery twice without ever buying a ticket. (Seriously, my mum's a schizophrenic and used to quiz me all the time about how my Nobel prize was going, till I gave her a hard time about it. Now she only hints.)
Sagan will be awesome. He already is awesome.
Dave, you should auction off your old "junk". Don't toss it. Make it a fundraiser.
