I am very proud today: Exeter has announced that tuition will now be FREE for all students whose families earn less than $75,000 annually. This now means that Exeter and Princeton lead their respective communities in financial aid offers. I am distinctly proud to be affiliated with both of those schools, today and every day.

Also: important fact: Did you know that the plastic top on 2 litre and 20 oz sodas can’t be recycled? That the recycling plants will just throw the whole thing away rather than unscrew the top? So, be sure to remove the tops before you recycle those bottles (particularly important to me, given that I drink 5 of those 20 ouncers a day!).
