Midterms are over for now. Last night was the Navy/Marine Corps Birthday Ball, and it was a blast. We met with lots of military veterans and active duty servicemen. We had everything from a flag officer to a Navy seal in attendance. It was so much fun! We had our ball at the Union League Cafe, which is the former homesite of Roger Sherman, the only American to have his name on the Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation, and Constitution. I also met with quite a few Yale NROTC grads from 1968 and  earlier that are now CEOs and chairmen of corporate boards....and they're very eager to help out Yale Midshipmen. I suppose it's always great to make connections, and they're all just great guys that are so proud of their service in the Navy. All things aside, it was a great night with my beautiful girlfriend and shipmates. And we sat next to SSgt. and his wife, which was certainly a pleasure!

Today I took my girlfriend on a tour of Yale, and we ended up all the way past Science Hill and at the Divinity School. It was one the best days for a walk...the leaves are at their peak right now and the weather was perfect.
