Matt was inducted into the National Honor Society last night in a ceremony at his high school.
The head of the school board invoked JFK and and said, “You’re the brightest and best at one of the best schools in the country. You’re in an elite group.”
Wow. Can I say, once again, that I’m proud? I didn’t have anything to do with Matt being selected for NHS, but it’s pretty cool to see a young man get recognized for putting his nose to the grindstone. That will serve him well.
I’ll have some pix tomorrow. Just busting my buttons today.

Your poor tailoring and exercise habits aside, congratulations.
Indeed a bright spot in a world that makes them harder to find lately. You should be proud.!
Yeah Matt!!!
Whey you Dad was your age, he was already in juvenile hall!
Congrats! Go on Proud Papa!
JT, yep, pride and powdered donuts conspire to pop my buttons.
Sarcasmom, thank you.
Pax, lol, I thought you weren’t going to tell.
Pinky Bear, thank you. I’m living vicariously through my guys.
Thanks for sharing the great news, Frank. And don’t think we don’t see how you’re subtly comparing yourself with JFK. Powdered donuts conspiring to pop your buttons? You might as well have said “ich bin ein Berliner.”
Don’t sell yourself short. Good parenting and a good home environment play a huge role in a child’s success.
Good genes do, too…
