Ouch

Bob and I went on a college visit today at Denison University just outside of Columbus, Ohio. The first half of our tour was meeting members of the football coaching staff, followed by a campus tour through the Admissions office.

Our tour guide was a young black female who introduced herself and said she was majoring in Feminism and Women's Studies.

After the tour, I sent my wife a text to let her know we were headed home and mentioned our tour guide and her major. I asked the question "what sort of job do you think she ends up with for her $150K education.

My wife, who is rarely funny and even more rarely quick in responding answered: "she'll be terminally angry and like to argue.  She'll probably end up a lawyer."

Damn, she got me on that one.

I have a friend from high school who went to Denison. Do you want me to contact him and see if he'll reach out to Bob? He's a really good guy.

Once I get a better handle on his interest I may take you up on that. It was a really nice campus. He isn't sure it's an academic fit, and he wasn't thrilled with the absence of air conditioning in the dorms.

My buddy Harry got back to me. He went to Oberlin, not Denison. Apparently, confusing the two is the Ohio version of asking a Harvard grad if he went to Yale.
Another Christmas card I won't be getting this year.

LMAO!!  Wasn't Harry someone you used to coach with?  Name sounds familiar.

Different Harry. This one is from high school. I should have remembered he went to Oberlin because he was really into music and Oberlin has one of the best music departments in the country.
