Me ranting to Matt after watching an eye-opening episode of NOW: “Health care, education, and auto towing’ll be the only jobs left! Why do you think I’ve been looking into psychiatric nursing programs??” Matt: “That’s not a bad idea. Do you think I’ll need more biology for that? I was never good at bio. Are [...]

Me to Matt: “And on this shelf, I was thinking of a kooky cookie jar, something fun and colorful.” Matt: “Like an apple!” Oh, boy. I think Matt might not have this “kooky” thing down.
