  • Full course

    If I didn’t think I would lose all credibility as a responsible parent, I might have rousted my children from their beds last night and asked them to help me with my homework.

    As it was, I seriously considered it.

    I am a student again. For three days now, 12 hours in all, and I can say with certainty that I don’t remember ever concentrating so hard when I was an actual college student. I also don’t remember ever being so hungry in school.

    I had to look up her picture in our high school yearbook.
    I remembered her name but had to remind myself what she looked like. I don’t think we were ever in the same classes, though maybe in grade school.

    Not that I wasn’t happy to hear from her.
    Since my 30th high school reunion, mostly through the power of Facebook, I had been in touch with several former classmates, some I had seen at the reunion, some who weren’t able to make it.
