Because we get a couple of appetizers, I usually have a salad for my
entree, but it's Thai style salad with generous amounts of medium-rare
fillet mignon in it. My wife, who has watched me happily order it the
last few times we've been there, gave in and also ordered the same thing
last night.

And thanks - he got into Fordham, which is a pretty good school, but
he's applying to a something like 10 or 12 different schools so we'll
wait to see who else will have him and about the almight dollar as well
before making a final decision.
