Congratulations on all points! Today's kids would be a lot better off if
you handed them broken computer hardware or crashed software and told
them they couldn't do their homework until they had fixed it. At least
they would have demonstrable skills, unlike high school graduates.

I have an English friend who lives in Atlanta. Many years ago he found a
pasteboard box with a little black baby girl some crackheads had
abandoned in one of Atlanta's biggest malls. A really good person, he
followed her into the terrible socialist services debacle and ended up
adopting her, the best thing that ever happened in her short life. A few
years ago, she graduated near the top of her class in Nursing and is now
a well-paid RN in a major hospital. My English friends are very well off
in commercial construction and real estate making all this possible. She
looks almost a match for Brandi, the beautiful singer.

Whenever someone asks about his black daughter, he paints a terrible
picture of him and a teenage prostitute. You have to know him to
appreciate the dry English humor in all of it....(c;
