Congrats to all involved on the team.

[LuFins Dad]

This is my favorite picture from the day. I was late getting my camera up for the staged photo, so his girl was walking away. In a way it let their real emotion and joy shine through in a way that the obligatory posed pictures doesn’t.

Authentic pics are the best.

[Axtremus]

Good point. Will be sure to add the word "authentic" the next time I prompt AI to generate a pic.

[Horace]

@Axtremus It's redundant when the rest of your prompt is "sexy Trump on horseback".

[Renauda]

Wonderful photos and memories, LD. My congratulations to you all.

The boy got a 5 on his AP World History exam.

[LuFins Dad]

Fantastic! Cheers!

[Axtremus]

Congratulations!

[jon-nyc]

Last week he had a jazz concert on Tuesday and a classical concert on Thursday.

The boy got his SAT score back today.

First time taking it, he got a 1480. Perfectly balanced 740/740.

He’s talking about taking it again hoping to break 1500.

Schools these days (most anyway) accept ‘super scoring’ where they’ll take your best verbal and best math across multiple tries.

[89th]

Wow that's incredible. I took mine once, I think it was a 1200? I also remember learning later you could take it multiple times and pick your best verbal or math. My parents were (are) great, very loving, smart, but man they didn't really teach anything about financial literacy or exam competitiveness the way I'm at least aware about it for my kids.

[Horace]

I never got a piece of advice from my parents that I considered usable. Not even in retrospect. But I saw how they loved each other and they loved me, that was probably the best thing.

[Horace]

Boy-NYC's scores topped mine, but we share the even distribution between verbal and math.

The only career advice my dad ever gave me was not to work in retail. The fact that he so rarely gave advice meant that it is something I've followed religiously.
