It is now official, a second gifted-talented kid inhabits our house: Boy.
The school district tested him and qualified him for their advanced program. God have mercy on them all. He starts K next year.

What will it take?
Does one need any further or better or more clearly-defined reason for the US Department of Defense to halt the use of the Social Security number as an identifying number, than this one?
Emphasis mine.
Will we soon have some veteran, with the plastic tubes shoved up his nose to deliver his life-preserving oxygen, bitching to Congress about how his identity has been stolen, how his mil pension is now redirected to a meth lab on the other side of the Mississippi? How about a Korean-era serviceman's widow dumped on the curb because she couldn't make her rent payments, because her identity was stolen?
Will it have to come to that?
This is an official announcement from The Enlisted Association of the National Guard, of the United States (EANGUS).
Theft of Veterans Affairs (VA) Personal Data
Monday, May 21, 2006. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has recently learned that an employee, a data analyst, took home electronic data from VA, which he was not authorized to do. This behavior was in violation of our policies. This data contained identifying information including names, social security numbers, and dates of birth for up to 26.5 million veterans and some spouses, as well as some disability ratings.
Emphasis mine.
