Today is Brooke’s birthday. Today she is 16. Whoo-Hoo!
So, what is she doing to celebrate? She’s taking a test. Today is also the opening round of the North American Computational Linguistics Olympiad. Competitors will spend three hours today working on 3-5 tricky puzzles featuring a combination of linguistics, logic and programming skills. Top scorers will be invited to an invitational round in March where members of the national team will be selected for the international competition in Slovenia this year.
We’re headed down to Princeton with two of her friends (and competition) for the first round and having a birthday breakfast at PJ’s.
Wish her luck!

Great for her!
Sad for your taxes. Now you don’t get the Child Credit!
Oh really? When did they stop that? I got it for my older daughter when she was older than 16. Are we talking about the same thing?
Mine turned 17 at the end of the year and my taxes said no child credit after 16….
Are you talking about dependents? Because I was able to claim my older daughter until she got her diploma from the CIA.
Happy Birthday to Brooke!
Happy Birthday to Brooke! the first of the biggies in our life.next up 18.

!! Happy Birthday, Brooke! & Good Luck on the test.
Happy Birthday to Brooke who shares a birthday with my wonderful nephew who turns, wait for it… 28 today. My how time flies. Seems like yesterday we were all rushing to the hospital to see the first grandchild of my parents, first son for my sister (she’s since gotten 2 more) first nephew for me ( I’ve since gotten 3 more). Congratulations to you too, RD, proud mom, no doubt.
Happy 16 to Brooke and a belated Happy 15 too … because last year’s picture is so breathtaking.
Happy Birthday Brooke and I hope the test went well.
