Recently in Boston. Decided to show my daughter where she was born long ago. Maternity was located here in the 1980s, 5th floor Beth Israel Deaconess. I want it noted that I stopped for a *real* coffee on my way to the hospital, already in labor. After 9 months of decaf, gimme some Dunkin’, please.

Since 1958, West Point has honored one U.S. citizen annually with the Sylvanus Thayer Award for embodying the values of "Duty, Honor, Country."
Tom Hanks was set to receive the award later this month. His ceremony was just abruptly canceled by the Academy.
