Chronicles of a Late-Blooming Child Prodigy

I'm an unrelenting aficionado of Chess, Toastmasters and acoustic music (Celtic and Bluegrass--Turquoisegrass?). Audio and Video Blogging gives my visitors a chance to hear and see my triumvirate of interests in action. Cheers! --GT

About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Olympia, Washington, United States

My recurring illusions of grandeur: (1) winning a state-level chess tournament, (2) winning the World Championship of Public Speaking, and (3) playing Flight of the Bumblebee on the guitar at the Annual Flatpicking Championship in Winfield, Kansas. Until then, I'll relish all three pursuits with the enthusiasm and fearlessness of a late-blooming child prodigy. :)

GI Bill Increase

Back in the day, when I signed on the dotted line in Columbus, Ohio, I got a lot less. Uncle Sam put two dollars for every one of mine, up to a total of about $6,000 or so. Today, that would get me about two weeks into Harvard. Nowadays, folks are getting $36,000, which is approaching a respectable benefit. Now you can get through perhaps a year at Harvard, not counting Books, Lab Fees, Room, and Board! (I'll stick with the University of Phoenix for now, thank you.)

My son is getting this deal through the Air Force now. Way cool.
