Follow up: Cynara's gymnastics meet went great. Thanks to the support of her teammates and my friends, I managed to get in signage, chanting, foam fingers...and there may have been a ninja involved. Cynara's sister (who probably needs her own name here) gave me the sweetest compliment: "[Cynara's teammates] are probably all wishing they were dating Eagles fans." I was really touched. Shoutouts of thanks to Super King, Princess Lolly, Queen Frostine, and two people who need to pick names.
[Editor's Addendum: Special thanks to the First Tiger for coming up with the brilliant signage over burgers. Thanks to his scheme, we were a more organized cheering section than any of the teams themselves--which is saying something given their matching leotards.]
And now for something funny...does the following line from the NY Times raise any eyebrows or set off any warning bells in anyone's mind but mine?
"During his 21 years as steward of the Yale endowment, Mr. Swensen has generated an annual compound growth rate of 16.3 percent, beating the performance of Harvard's endowment and that of every other major school in the country over the same period, according to data compiled by Yale."
And for something old that's still funny...this summer, our house dean ran into Rick Blaine and said: "[Rick Blaine]! You've been at the top of my "To Do" list for weeks now!"
Awkward turtle.

First Tiger wants credit for coming with up the brilliant signage, despite his absence from said gymnastics event.
I don't quite get the humor of the NYT quote...
