AO-

Congrats to you and your daughter! Very much hoping that the rest of the season goes well, too!

Happy to report that I have my own "little victory" to report. Last week, my own eighth grade daughter got her first email inviting her to participate in the school's Elite Basketball Camp this summer from.... Yale.

Yes, I know that Yale sent out hundreds (if not thousands) of such invites. I remember seeing Dartmouth Football staffers stuffing countless envelopes at old Davis Varsity House to send out to potential recruits. And I'm well-aware that my daughter's academic record (good grades at a traditional Ivy feeder) was likely what got Yale's attention rather than anything she did on the court.

But still--it was cool to see her get that email!! And her grandparents were very impressed as well!!

Here's to life's little victories!! May they keep on coming!!!
