Great American Adventure.

- Scratch that, now I’m in love.
How Come, Scaredy-Cat.
- Last weekend I found myself at a bar among four girls that are in the English department at NYU with me. It was a type of end of the year celebration to commemorate the fact that stretching our intellect hasn’t killed us yet, and because our other friends who are dudes in the department didn’t show up I was the lone male spokesman for the night. One of the girls asked me a question...
