    Bad Grade Situation (Precalculus)

    Horses for Courses - according to my math geek oldest son, SAT math is harder than ACT math. But ACT has more questions in a shorter time period, so it's more of a speed/accuracy exercise than a true measure of math knowledge. Try a couple of mock ACT math sections and see how you do.

    Bancroft Renovation

    With a chance of rain in the forecast, that might be the right call. Plus getting in & out of Met Life is a pain. I long for the days when I lived at 30th & Madison and could make it straight across 31st Street, right into the Lincoln Tunnel and into parking lot Section 16A within 15 minutes.

    usna vs usafa

    We could use headphone in Nimitz Library to listen to The Grease Man on DC 101 during evening study. Also got second hand music from the upper class. Sometimes good, sometimes bad. The three youngster ladies who lived across the passageway wore out the grooves on the Go-Go's first album in...

    Who's on your literary action squad?

    Our oldest spent four years at Oxford so we got to visit quite frequently. It's interesting to see how some of the places have changed from the original Morse episodes.

    Who's on your literary action squad?

    No place worse for murder than Oxford between Inspectors Morse & Lewis.

    We call that a "tenant-in-place" rehab in the mutilfamily real estate business. We have crews that can do an entire apartment in 2 days.

    Any way to anonymously report a Sponsor family?

    After I left USNA I finished my undergrad studies in NYC. My roommate's family owned one of the largest Italian bread bakeries in NYC. They were going to start a frozen division in the midwest. Built a small scale version of their NYC facility in Omaha, used all the same equipment, same...

    I-Day Logistics

    I think Tom Ray was '82. I seem to recall "Neeb's Loaf" going the way of the TRHBS as well. LCDR Neeb was a great guy. I've told my plebe year Thanksgiving train story about him here before.

    Navy-Air Force football game

    I think it's the home stadium of the team with the best record. Didn't Navy host versus Temple back in 2016? I think Tulane has hosted in New Orleans the past two years.

    How Would USNA Look At My Business In the Context of the WCS

    Can't speak for USNA Admissions, but if I'm sitting on my MOC's nominating panel and hear a unique story like that, I'm more impressed by that than by the "standard" HS EC stuff. But then again, I'm a Wharton MBA, so you're speaking my language.

    Grad School after ADSO

    A few random thoughts for you: Think about your age. If you do the 8 years, you will be roughly 32 when you graduate from grad school. If you do business school or law school, those first three/four years of your associate apprenticeship are a real grind with the 80-100 weeks. Is that...

    New York trip

    The first two Madison Square Gardens were actually there by Madison Square Park. In the 1920s it moved to Eighth Avenue & 49th Street. After the Pennsylvania Railroad sold the air rights in the 1950s, the architectural gem that was the original Pennsylvania Station was demolished and the "dogs...
