The Sound of Music

I was thinking about my grandson at work today. After all, he's already 4 1/2. It's certainly not too early to consider his college education. I recall how competitive things were when my kids were applying in the 1990s. I can only imagine what it'll be like in 2023. But I have a plan, and I presented it to Rachel this morning. Strategy is key, of course. I suspect most every child growing up today will apply to the Ivies with a transcript/resume stuffed with all manner of interesting extra-curricular activities. What one needs to stand out from the crowd is something unique. Something different. Lacrosse? fencing? summers working in chemistry labs? Habitat for Humanity? Fuggedaboudid! Now, If I can only convince Micah to spend the next 14 years learning how to do this, he's in. No question. All we have to do is find a tutor.
