I had no idea I was trying to match wits with a two-year-old. And failing. .

I never walk on the cracks. .

I was fortunate enough to get almost ‘full boat’ at one of the endowed (private)) colleges thru Regents, National Merit, and University scholarships. Had to earn about $2K/academic year on my own. Then again, total cost of tuition, room, board, books, incidentals were between $7-8K/year when I wore a backpack. .

So, during ‘reading week’, you finally cracked the textbook, and headed to Uris Library to watch 13 weeks of lectures? We had no Gamelan, no gongs. All we had on the quad was frisbee, and dogs. Maybe it’s easier now but, for me, it was brutal. (BTW, we beat St. Lawrence 4-2 yesterday - will clinch 1st in ECAC with a win over Clarkson tonight. Not that it means much - all 12 teams make the tourney. Kinda makes me wonder why we play the other 22 games.) .

Having gone to both Harvard and Cornell, and rejected by Princeton and Yale, I can attest with a fair degree of certainty that Cornell is the easiest to get in, the hardest to graduate. (Although it seems all the Kennedys that could not buy their way into Harvard went to Brown, so admission to Brown must also be fairly easy.) And yes, while if I could do it again, I’d go to University of Hawaii, but the connections and cache of an Ivy League school have been worth the money, effort, and sacrifice. .

Seems like all the fun Big East coaches are gone - Louis Carnesseca, John Thompson, Rollie Massimino, Rick Pitino, gone. But Boeheim endures, at ‘cuse, for 50+ years. Quite an accomplishment. .

What a great thread ? this is! I, vainly, consider my knowledge of music fairly encyclopedic - yet you folks take me where I have not been. Vladimir Ashkenazy, Chopin Etude, Opus 10, No. 1... .

Two other notables that passed this week - Edward Nixon (President Nixon’s brother) and pianist/conductor/composer Andre Previn... RIP .

When I was a child, I used to hear that piece on the radio almost every morning - it’s how my love for jazz and R&B started. .

My diet has changed since I recently became Dad’s caregiver, but I used to have an egg/bacon/cheese breakfast sandwich every day. Probably explains my blood pressure. I used to whip up a fine quiche or 6 when I’d host the 10am Bills games at my house in San Fran. When I cooked for just myself, it was always an omelette. Now, my Dad requires hard boiled eggs on Friday, scramble on Monday. He’s 92, been the same routine for my mere 60 years. I f**king crave Eggs Benedict, and a Mimosa. Several Mimosas! .

Hot for Teacher: Denton TX style

Definitely no rise in my Levis . -
I am still both lucid and literate - I’d have preferred if he had said at least 41 points. I realize that I am, at times, given to Senatorial hyperbole, but put the right talent around Josh Allen, 41 points is a reasonable expectation. As always, JMHO. .

You’re saying that to piss me off! ? I’d have been happier if McD said 41 points... GO BILLSSS!!!! 19 and 0 baby!!!!! ??????
