There are three things men can do with women: love them, suffer for them, or turn them into literature. I've had my share of success and failure at all three.

Yay! Sabrina got into the highest level of the Seattle Youth Symphony. We got the notification today in the mail. And what a world we live in: I sent an email ("I have SYSO news!") to the mom's work address. She has a Blackberry for her job. She apparently just checked it, and then told Sabrina. Who called me on her cell phone from Salem, Oregon, for the news. Modern families! :-)

Sabrina has now achieved her personal triple crown: Orchestra A, Jazz Band I, and "Big Youth" Symphony. Congratulations to her, sez me.
