For what it’s worth, this is the same way many feel about their alma maters.* and it’s ironically complicated by the fact that Princeton hosted Dorian Abbott when my alma mater cancelled his invitation to give last year’s Carlson Lecture because he opposed the psychosis that is DEI. One day someone will probably unearth that last sentence and burn me at the stake for it.

But I say mazel tov, Solveig. Living well is the best revenge. And being with those whom you love and by whom you are loved is about as good as it gets.

* I probably wrote the plural incorrectly: only one year of Latin in what used to be called jr. high.

I would love to throw bouquets at Princeton for hosting Dorian Abbott but the truth is a bit more complicated. Abbott was actually hosted by an entity called the James Madison Program, which is an academic center on Princeton's campus and staffed by Princeton employees, but is semi-independent from the University. Think of the Hoover Institute at Stanford.

I've been in your home, Joe. Any attempt to burn you at the stake would be, IMHO, a very low-yield proposition.
