My mind is clearer now.

Updated: For those keeping score at home, Beatrix’s college results so far are:

  • Hartwick: Accepted
  • Lake Forest: Accepted
  • Wesleyan: Nope
  • Sarah Lawrence: Accepted
  • Saint Olaf: Accepted.

She has 7 other applications that I’m sure we’ll be hearing from between now and March.

This is Beatrix’s “I’d like you to reconsider your laughably low financial aid offer” look.

With the uncertainty of these times, I’m sure you’ll all be comforted to know that the potatoes have been riced for the lefse.

Reminded today that as we in the Northern Hemisphere are experiencing the shortest day of the year those in the Southern Hemisphere are celebrating the longest.

And… Beatrix has received her 2nd acceptance of the 12 colleges she applied to. This one is one of her top choices (but not the very top which she applied ED to).

Nice way to end the week and start a very busy circus holiday show opening weekend.

Just had oysters and a frozen daiquiri a few feet away from The Falcon so that’s how my Thanksgiving Eve is going.

Also, someone who never met my wife and I but saw us from afar at a thing commented to someone we know that we “made such a handsome couple” and I’ve been floating on that sweetness ever since.

Made myself a mighty good old fashioned using the last three ounces of a bottle of Johnny Walker Black 12 year that I’m sure was at least double that age at my pour.
