There are some people I just want to grab by the lapels, shake vigorously,
and remind in no uncertain terms to *pay* *attention* *to* *life*. It's
like people just breeze through life not watching or listening to anything
except when it's made abundantly clear beforehand that "this is going to
be on the test". Nothing frustrates me more. Well, a few things, but not
many, and not nearly as often.
Paul
