I just have to share a laugh with all of you because my mother is not alive to hear today's news. My steady in high school had the second highest S.A.T. score in our entire state and my mother despised the student with the highest score for beating him, plus the fact that he was the math student of my brother's girlfriend's mother. With me so far? Then, decades later he was announced as the new Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board. Mother kept repeating his name and said I know that name, I know that name. Then she called me and shouted into the phone, he's the one who beat your old flame on the S.A.T. She was still mad. Well, today he was announced as one of three being awarded the Nobel Prize (in Economics). Mother is rolling in her grave. Ah, there's nothing like your child's first crush!!!
