What do my son Daniel and Rick G. have in common?
My family and I lived in North Carolina for six years (1997-2003). They were formative years for my son Daniel. When Daniel was applying to colleges a few years ago, he wasn't interested in applying to Duke. (Daniel is now a sophomore at Northwestern; so Daniel and Rick do not have an undergrad college in common: Rick attended Duke.) But Daniel is, like Rick, a huge fan of Duke basketball. (My other, and younger, son Gabriel--who like my PhD-in-math brother Jim lives in the stratosphere of math and science--could care less about college basketball.) I just received a text message from Daniel, exulting over Duke's eventual win tonight. I have many failings as a parent. One of them: I raised a son who is in the thrall of Duke basketball.
Go Butler!
(I know, I know: fat chance!)
