Plus I’m usually zonked by the time I get home. But most nights I make an effort.
57. What do you miss about high school, if anything?

Barely. Ages ago I thought I would be uber cool in college and try to impress people with the family BMW. Apparently you actually have to be able to make it thru a stop sign to be impressive.
