I'd graduated. Why did I live in the house one more summer? That's a long story.

After my co-op, I was less than enthused about working as a computer programmer. I'd spent much of my super senior year interviewing, which seemed to confirm my thoughts in that direction. That wasn't because the interviews had gone poorly, quite the contrary. I was ( Read more... )

They don't have quite the visual appeal of a good scar, but after that post it seems worthwhile to me to cover the broken bones and major strains of my life, all of which came courtesy of extreme physical activity ( Read more... )
