Yes, it’ll take 14:00 to watch it.  But I don’t think you have anything better to do.  Do you?  rr

I was at Acton-Boxborough Regional High School on Tuesday evening to present a scholarship to a graduating senior.  We award this scholarship each year in the amount of $2,000.  While I was waiting for my turn (> $300,000 was awarded to over 200 students) I looked around and noticed all the bright shining faces of [...]
