<p>For a while, when people asked me where my son was going to go to college, I would say Yale, followed quickly by something along the lines of: “he won the lottery.” After a while, I quit making excuses for his good fortune, which he entirely deserved. People react to hearing HYPMS et al, but ultimately it’s their issue, not yours. </p>
<p>DS jokes that elsewhere, going to Yale makes him interesting to girls, but that at Yale, he’s just another guy :)</p>
