Thanks I'll look at the article. And no he really had no idea what he wants to do when he gets older.
Most of the finals went well, the overall grades are still only OK. Math is still an issue. He tests well but tends to fall down in all the little details, like fully completing homework.
I have asked him about his birthday, multiple times. A constant frustrating in this household is that despite my asking directly everyone seems to want mom to be able to mindread. It doesn't work too well.
Most likely is I probably going to take him to an amusement park next weekend, probably just the two of us. He is not comfortable about asking any of the other teenagers, I can't MAKE him, and he is well past the age where I can or should be asking for him.
