As you all know, I am delightfully oblivious to the people around me most of the time. Absent professors have nothing on me. However, from time to time, I will hear something during the course of running an errand (or saving the world) that just sets me off. I thought today was one of those

Well, it has finally happened: my brain has stopped trying to process what I’ve done by leaving my job and just embraced Property Virgins, House Hunters and House Hunters International.
