No, not me yet, but Mrs. Sytx became Dr. Styx on Monday in a moving ceremony involving every person to ever be affiliated with Yale. Seriously, the graduation ceremonies were long, irritating, and demeaning to individual achievement. But at least I got to hear every single damn Dean ask the president to accept the nameless graduates. It was a ceremony designed by deans to highlight deans, and dat's dat.
But now Mrs. Styx, PH.D. leads the Styx family with advanced degrees (which includes college). My wife has 6 (BA, 4 Masters, 1 Ph.D.). Second place is my father (5 = BA, BS, MA, DVM, PhD), then my brother (5 = AB, MA, MD, PhD), who will tie my father on Wednesday when he graduates Harvard with (another) Masters.
Depending on the vagaries of the Brandeis program, I could pull ahead of the pack but that will be in about 5 years, so who knows what will happen before that.
Anyway, yay for my wife.
