My boss' son just finished his second year at NYU and they held a
graduation for *that* <head shaking> The idea that the award of an
associate's degree rises to the level of a bachelor degree's ceremony
is puzzling, IMHO.
The kid has opted to drop out of school and join the Navy, trying out
for the Seals. He may get a rude shock. This is a pampered Orange
County CA privately schooled kid who thinks having taken a few years
of tae kwan do is going to have the Seals struck dumb with shock and
awe over his skills <g>
OB: I am marinating a flank steak in Nancy Young's recently posted
marinade as I keyboard this. Thanks, Nancy! <waving>
