I miss Minnesota.
I spent the weekend in my home state of Minnesota.
Boy, I like it there. Not to mention a lot of the people there.
Sigh. Someday.
Backstage did an interview with me. It's here. My parents, I'd guess, don't *love* my talking about failing so much of high school.
Oopsie. Sorry, guys.
And don't tell Bea.
Until she's got her fifteen degrees.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, The Honorable Reverend Doctor Captain Beatrice Sommer, M.A., R.N., Ph. D., Ed.D., Psy.D., Th.D, J.D."
That sounds about right.

Had a similar conversation with Will Hines' girlfriend who is a huge fan of the show and, through no fault of her own, of Chinese descent. She dressed up as a "Mad Men extra" for Halloween and said that, short of a juicy "dropping off the laundry" scene she couldn't actually be on the show.
And I'm the dick who says "Have to be after '65 though." ACCURACY FIRST!

It's funny how none of them remember I didn't even graduate until August. But boy, my mom does.
Still so much fun to see you every week!

And Tom, she didn't like me either. -)

Pretty sure I failed because I did nothing in the class.
I never got sent to detention, though. Did get sent to sit in the hall a lot.
I still have fond memories of the time. I certainly never blamed any of the teachers who failed me -- failing four classes in one year goes a long way toward showing where the blame lies.
I'm so proud and always have been.

Let's all say it was Charity and be done with it.

I was just about over it and you had to bring it back up. I think I still have some of the old report cards....wonder what it will be worth to keep them from Bea?
Both my mom and my dad have responded to this.
I am gonna be SO grounded you guys.
(And nice wink, Teej. I mean, "Thomas.")
Then there was World History...
Yep, you were quite the slacker sophomore year. ; )
Fortunately you're more than compensating for it now, whereas I'm seemingly going in the reverse direction. : /
Ha... sorry TJ. I was just giving you a hard time.
I actually don't even remember the school HAVING a detention program.

I have to sound off about SAHS theatre class!
Nice article in Backstage Rich - not bad for a fella with an MA in theatre. I love seeing how excited you and your co-workers get about the show when the script comes in.
Also - I had no idea Mindy was a co-writer on "Office" - I almost never get to see it mostly because I'm stuck in the dark ages and don't have dvr, much less a functioning tv, but I'll have to pay better attention to the credits next time I do watch. I watched the night you were on though !
