NYT letter

My favorite response to the Ivy League Women article:

To the Editor:

I'm glad that the things I declared when I was 19 about what I was going to do with my life didn't make front-page news.

Meeeee, too. Though I think I was not much with the big pronouncements when I was 19, and I knew I didn't know what I wanted to be when I grew up, I never expected to be married at 25, for example, and considered it likely I'd not have a permanent partner nor children.

ION, today at work is again flask-o-riffic. Gah. The Move cannot be over too soon (not that it has yet begun in earnest.)

Oh, I was terribly prone to the big pronouncements, and even the Big Pronouncements. Thank god they didn't listen to me.
