ok, so congrats are in order to the l.o. for her acceptance to centre college, an institution of renown.....but there are lingering questions......as this is a major life milestone....will there be a secession party where secession-appropriate gifts will be bestowed? as there are no lines of secessionist greeting cards, l.o. could design them herself...and market them to peeps like walmart, and start an empire.......the dissatisfied will no longer quit, they will simply seceed...it has an 'old-is-new-again' feel to it........anyway, given centre's schedule, the lo.o would not have to miss classes to travel this winter, should i, in my meanness, decide to go ahead and book that paris apartment.........
