22. My daughter married a great guy

but he is a Musk acolyte. We just don't discuss politics around him. My wife, daughters, and I are all Democrats (I became one during Obama's second term).

He is a hard worker. Just got his MS in Computer Engineering. He is the father of my grandson, and I love him deeply. My perception is his family is pretty conservative. They are really into college football (the college where my SIL met my daughter). Both of them have Engineering degrees from it (graduated together in Mechanical Engineering).

My other daughter who is 27 hasn't really dated. She had an infatuation for a coworker coming out of college, but he wasn't interested in her (I am thankful for this because he enjoys his pot and really hasn't developed any sort of career). She got her BS in Nursing at 19 and has been working full time as an RN since 2017. She doesn't have any student loans, owns her own condo, and is extremely smart but a little shy. She has found the dating pool to be pretty shallow. I wish she would leverage her love of genre (in particular horror, fantasy, and SF) to meet like minded individuals. I hope she does meet someone someday.
