I rarely hear in real life what you just typed. I'm not sure why, because I'm the exact same in real life as I am here. To me, it seems like real life friends don't treat you as favorably as online friends. I think that's an interesting phenomenon.

I just looked at your profile. I went to both Community College and University. I was Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society and, then President's list at a major university. I look back fondly at my time in academia. Those were the days in my life when I felt really accomplished. I look back fondly on those days. I always wanted to be a teacher, and I looked into it seriously during my post-college career, but I never pursued it.

I had such a love for my professors...I thought they were the coolest people ever. I maintained relationships with a lot of them for many years. My sister is a retired teacher. I'm betting you are very proud of your career.

Are you doing alright, Grim Chieftain? How's things?
