Have you ever noticed our curious propensity to raise difficult questions only to drop them when the conversation becomes "heated." My wife brought this to my attention last night when I mentioned Matt's errant belief that Dunkin' Donuts is superior both to the most excellent Krispy Kreme and the slightly-less-excellent-but-still-virtuous Starbucks.

She was like: "How did you get from homosexuality and genetics to the virtues of East Coast vs. Midwest donuts [even typing that makes me feel like I'm in some kind of rap battle. Long live Tupac!]."

"Quite easily, " I replied. "Through a discussion of teachers, mathematics and students' decaying attitudes towards anything that is not fun."

She didn't understand. :-)
