I have been listening to NPR podcasts and playing solitaire for three hours.) Her: Go home! Me: Ok, I will. Thanks. —- Really, I just changed locations. The activities don’t really [...]

Jason, you better also fill this out, so I don’t feel like a loser. Since we all see plenty of those Facebook surveys, as well as the current PCV survey floating around out there, I thought I would give you one of my own.
