Next set of Mountains to Cross

After more than 6 months of tutoring and general nail biting, the day of THE TEST finally arrived. Our entry ticket for Saturday's SHSAT test which is mandatory if you have any thoughts of going to one of New York's 8 very very selective high schools including Stuyvestant and Bronx Science, was for 12 noon. So Kate and approximately 10 to 15,000 other teens with their parents dutifully made our way to Chambers Street causing a major traffic jam which required extra cops to direct traffic both ambulatory and vehicular. We took the test. I say we advisedly because by that time I felt as if I had taken it too. Only I was able to go reeling off into the sunny afternoon to Oldeon which is one of my favorite restaurants to order wine and have lunch. I had company which made it all wonderful and just about the appointed hour of 4 went back to Stuyvesant to pick Kate up.

You have to know that there was an 8 o'clock test on Saturday and an 8 o'clock test on Sunday....

OK next life hurdle.

Oh, the results? We don't get those until February.
