Over 200...wow. What hapened to him? And what about you? Did you inherit? My own is about 160, and I find it causes a host of emotional and social hassles. This kid seems to be very well-adjusted though, I think it comes from a calm, supportive Mom and high standards. I've always had the latter, but not the former.

They said it was 220 or so (my dad's.) He didn't graduate school at 12 or anything. He was in college at 16. At 18 he volunteered to go kill krauts in WW2. Came back a coupla years later. He worked in research labs. His specialty was navigational systems. He worked on AWACS and later on the space shuttle. But he had real poor health, heart attacks, bad temper, and some other failing character traits that made it uphill all the way. Never owned a home. Never got money saved.

As for me, I didn't inherit much to speak of. No college for me. But I learned from his mistakes. Hopefully I have a 200 common sense IQ.
