My life has had lots of surprises since 1998, but even
my most optimistic friends would not have predicted this:
I won a full ride to
Harvard.
You would not believe how NATURALLY this can be inserted
into a conversation:
Drive Through Window Guy: You want a double cheeseburger
and a Diet Coke?
Me: Did you say something about
Harvard?
DTWG: No.
Me: I did get a full ride scholarship to
Harvard.
DTWG: Do you want fries with
that?
We live in an age where people get too much information,
so I don’t mention that the class is only for a week, and that the scholarship
was obviously based on need, not merit. Why overload
people?
My wife, who the term `long suffering’ was invented, has

email her? Her number is 682-551-8040. We go back to
Your pal,
