1) Thing 2 learned to ride a bike, sans training wheels.
2) Neruda, continuing his streak and maintaining his position as Mr. Hot Young American Poet, won a Very Big Prize.
Portrait of Clara (as a chemist)
3 weeks ago
Meanwhile the mind, from pleasure less,
Withdraws into its happiness:
The mind, that ocean where each kind
Does straight its own resemblance find;
Yet it creates, transcending these,
Far other worlds, and other seas;
Annihilating all that's made
To a green thought in a green shade.
Andrew Marvell, "The Garden" 41-48

Congratulations!
Isn't it kind of amazing how certain triumphs during various phases of life can be completely delightful?
Both Neruda and Thing 2 should be very pleased with themselves.
Congrats to both! Excellent news.
Bravissimo!
ooh! Many congratulations to young and old!
Hooray and huzzah!
Thanks, all! And Anon--I'll take ANY triumph, any day.
Nice prize, Neruda!
And way to go on the bike thang, Thing 2!
Wahoo! I remember how totally cool it was when I learned to ride a bike. Go Thing 2!
As for Neruda, well, YAY!
