DEADLINES

Slow season on blogging again. I have interviews to do for the MIT Educational Council.

They have to be done by January 6 and the last minute guys and gals are coming in the door.

I had my very best kid on Friday. Best this year. A great candidate.

A few of my propects got "deferred"' on early action which is between "accepted" and no dice.

I like doing this a lot.

Today will be my last interview. Period. They have to make arrangements before December 10th and we are way past that.

I am a softy on that deadline. I have had three kids signup late.

The whole purpose of this is to put a face on the Institute for the kid (me) and a face on the kid for the Institute.

I had a guy like me when I applied 50 years ago.

So, this is the last one. I assume I will do it again next year. There are two year terms but I don't think there is any alumnus other than me in this territory, the whole western half of Riverside County.

At least not one who is of sound body and mind.

But I may be wrong. Maybe they will oust me.

My reports tend to be a little off the edge. I write from my heart.

So, off I go to the last one for the year. Maybe ever. In this world one never knows what the carousel will bring around again. Or not.
