Last night, I was chatting with my wife before bed. I was awarded a nice scholarship when I started college, and she was wondering if I'd put that off until the last moment like I had with everything else in high school (actual quote: "If I'd known you in high school, I wouldn't have married you"). Turns out that I'd filled the application out on the afternoon of the deadline and hoofed it over to the Honors College (then located in Carmichael), turning it in just before five that evening. When she heard that, she was surprised, but not shocked — it was, after all, in character for me at the time. But she commented, "I can't believe you'd play dice with your future."
