I was hoping that Lieberman would try to make a deal for his state - join the GOP caucus in the Senate if Sikorsky got the deal. But in spite of how many Dim leaders treated him, he says he will stand by his word to remain in the Dim caucus, so it was no use even approaching him on it.
I worry for my nephew. His first of three kids just entered college this year, which means he has about ten more years of his children's college tuition to worry about. At least for only three of those ten years will two of them be in college at the same time. I guess his wife and him will live on bread and water those three years.
His first, is in a five year engineering program at Drexel. Its a five year program because in addition to the Bachelor's degree, she will be employed off and on during that time in various engineering jobs. Altogether, she'll have about 18 months of actual engineering employment experience when she graduates. The son of one of my neighbors is in a similar engineering degree program at Stevens in Hoboken (not a well known school outside of engineering circles, but very well respected among engineers).
