one thing i am very disappointed to learn

... that no one reads out loud very often. i always thought grown ups did that an awful lot. sure, there are presentations. speeches. but the notes are there to glance at, not to read from. that looks silly and people think you're lying that much more. anyway. the point is that you are not exercising a skill you spent so long acquiring (or failing to acquire) in elementary/middle school.

i had my expectations. and i?

am diappointed.

also, climbing trees. i miss that.
