Congratulations NMAP. Don't forget to take a couple minutes to be proud and reflect before getting back to work - additional work is part of the package deal that comes with more alphabet soup after your name.

Hey, I certainly have no control over whatever socially deviant thoughts you harbor in the dark recesses of your gore-addled mind, Physician.

Ain't it fun when we are more excited about our kids achievements than our own! It's what it's all about. Congrats to your son and to you for raising him.
