Read MoreYeah, dreams are worth it. It's a pretty bleak time with constant reminders that lots of us are unemployed and our long term prospects are sort of divided between another market nose-dive (the double-dip) or a long period of poor economic performance (the long recession).

Read MoreThere's a bit by Lewis Black where he explains world wars no longer break out because of the far more dangerous and violent world of international soccer. Watching the World Cup this year I think I grasp the wisdom of that point. I'm suddenly involved in caring about nations I normally don't think about (Ghana) against nations I'd never actually want to invade. It's a good dodge.

Some of the most enriching intellectual experiences came from classes I had no reason to take (Northern Lands And Cultures). However, there was one class I looked forward to and, in retrospect, left me with almost nothing. It was an Art History class (i.e. full of girls) about French Gothic church architecture in the 11th and 12th century based mostly on the Basilica of St. Denis o
