Well, I just found out my girl's going to graduate Phi Beta Kappa! [View all]

I couldn't be more proud. She's headed for Feinberg next. It's been a long time coming and yet in the blink of an eye.

Thankfully, there hasn't been a single bump (well, except graduation from H. S. during a pandemic) in the road that could have thrown her off.

I'm holding my breath through this campus unrest thing. She's so nose to the grindstone that she'd have a better chance of accidentally stumbling over it than willfully joining though.

Anyway, please join me in celebration of a real smartypants headed to med school. She definitely deserves the accolades!! She works exceptionally hard and even plays well with others, too.

But as a physician, I fully expect she'll run with scissors and in the direction of emergency situations.

Thankfully, those will be bandage scissors and not sewing shears.

So, here’s to the girl! Long may she thrive!
