We Are the Champions, My Friend

UCLA's Women's Softball have won again ; National Title #106 for UCLA. While I have never won a sports trophy, my students have. I'm proud to say Megan Langenfeld (one of the stars of the game) is one of my students this quarter. She told me that she would miss our final exam because she would be playing in the championship game and I arranged for her to take it off campus. She is pitcher and I asked her whether she throws spitballs. She said "no".

Recall that in Shakespeare's Macbeth that Banquo was the father of kings but never king himself. This is what the witches predicted. I am like Banquo. My "UCLA children (my students)" are achieving things that I have not been able to.
