<p>In the 70s tomorrow. It better not be that hot on Monday, Marathon day. The poor runners will roast!</p>
<p>mootmom, Congratulations - and the north pole isn't so bad - who was it that said "The coldest winter I ever experienced was summer in SF?" (bay area)</p>
<p>evitajr, that quote is attributed to Mark Twain but there's some doubt that he actually said it. Having lived in SF for 15 years, I have no doubt that whoever said it, meant it.</p>
<p>mootmom- hearty congrats! I could just "see" that he fit right in there. If I don't make to to a Ca. party this summer, then maybe we can grab a bite when you come to Cambridge sometime.</p>

<p>Congrats! I remember that the process was more complicated for you than for US-based families. I'm glad to know that your D will be attending such a great school.</p>

<br>
<p>Absolutely. Us New Englanders don't usually wear our parkas in June as people do in the Bay Area.</p>
<p>mootmom - Congrats! However, I do have to correct something very important:) in this thread. The Bay Area is not cold in summer. We have microclimates caused by the hilly range between the ocean and us. We are beautiful, beautiful, beautiful all summer long. Only SF, and then down the Peninsula to about Daly City gets cold in summer. One summer I lived in SF and then would drive to my parents house on the weekends. I can still remember coming round the bend and seeing the crayon blue sky and gold hills burning out of the fog.</p>
<p>But nothing wrong with New England. Congrats again Mootmom!</p>
<p>OK, so here is an updated complete-until-now list. Looking forward to seeing the other entries to come!!</p>

<p>22frets - so what was the clincher for Princeton? We are down to the wire between Princeton and Stanford with a Stanford admit weekend that goes from April 28-30th. Could they give us any less time!?!</p>
<p>Yes, they could be Harvard and make it April 29-May 1.</p>
