New Spartan

There's a new Spartan in the White House.

No, no one from Sparta is visiting. (Those guys cleared out a month ago.) And, no, no one around the house has become more self-disciplined or self-restrained. (My end of the White gene pool is a particularly well-known producer of profligate wastrels.)

My younger son, Danny, has announced he will matriculate at York College of Pennsylvania next year... home of the Spartans! I dropped the registration check in the mail today. (That and a housing application with his clearly stated preference for a tidy roommate. He said that way his room will only be half a wreck rather than a total wreck.)

I am very pleased he is going there. York College is a good fit for Danny. He'll be about an hour away from the house, it's big but not too big, and it has a really snazzy student center.

Most importantly, peppermint patties are everywhere.
