Can I brag a little? Today we received notice that my daughter was selected for Governor's School this summer. This is a big deal in Virginia. Her area of interest is the Humanities. To be honest, I wanted her to apply for languages (Latin) because she's been taking it since 3rd grade. But she insisted, and voila - she got in.
Plus, today the United States Institute for Peace announced the winners of their essay contest. Our daughter was one of 2 Honorable Mentions for the Commonwealth of Virginia (they do one 1st and 2 Hon Ments for each state).
She's a smart cookie. And beautiful. I love her.
Okay, back to your regularly scheduled programming.

WOW!!! A Big CONGRATS to your daughter. Excellent my friend. And congrats to the proud parents :)
Well surely you should "toot your own horn" or how are we to know about your daughter and all her honors. Congratulations to her. I can see why she "makes you proud"!!
Congrats to your really smart cookie!
Thom - thanks. I think I would be more pleased if she had actually expended much effort. I always tell her, "just think what you would accomplish if you actually focused on things!" She laughs. Sigh.
Sweet Tea - thank you. She's a corker!
Quilly -- why are you in a hotel room? What symposium? Thank you for the kind thoughts!
That is really a big deal! Congratulations!
