And another thing... My son will be playing D1 lacrosse

next year at a mid-major, where the head coach had been an assistant at one of the Ivys. This coach talked about how the Ivy League kids were great, but lacrosse was just one of many things they were all good at. They were going to be fine in life with or without lacrosse. But the students he's recruiting now are seeing opportunities open up precisely because they excel at lax.

So there's that.

My son has the good fortune to be adopted so he didn't inherit the lack of athleticism that would have been his genetic fate as a biological child of ours...
