Congratulations, amych's dad!
In the same vein, now that it's real I can talk about it, my younger niece got accepted to Brown for her Master's degree. She is over the moon.
Nobody can tell Marmaduke what to do. That's my kind of dog.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

So much academic success! How exciting!

I always wanted to go to Brown! What's she studying?

That's awesome, amych! Did he go to law school in NC? Or he just knows about what's up in politics there?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Did he go to law school in NC? Or he just knows about what's up in politics there?
Nope -- he's in school in NY. But he spent his internships/associateships/whatever they call it doing grunt work towards suing the Wake County (Raleigh) school board for rolling back desegregation after his first year, and then researching for appellate briefs on Voter ID laws after his second. NC is sadly notorious these days.

amych's dad is totally an inspiration.
In a similar vein, my ex's dad retired from the Philly Fire Department and then went back to Temple and got both his BA and PhD in poli sci and now he is teaching there.

I think I am more impressed by the internships (or whatever they are called) than the law school. That is so cool.
