Sorry to be personal here, but the eldest Schiffren daughter, who turns 13 shortly, moved, this fall to a new school. Unlike her previous NYC school, this one has playing fields, as well as very good academics. I am very proud to announce that today she made me an authentic “soccer mom,” by surviving several rounds of cuts and making the school team. Okay, it’s not the same thing as hockey — but it’s closer than, say, having a kid on the debate, math or chess teams — which was all either set of her grandparents got.
