Life Lessons

I've made a huge mistake....

At this very moment I am at work listening to a CD called "Opera without words" (which is exactly what it sounds like) while playing a little game called "the poem game" (which is exactly as fun as it sounds)

for those of you at home who aren't familiar with the game, and would like to play at home here's how you play: You'll need two people (one of whom is old) and a computer. The old person recites a line of poetry that he can remember, then the second person on the computer tries to find the entire poem on the internet and in the rare case he does, he then reads the entire poem to the old person out loud who then replies "ah yes i remember that one" and this goes on and on until he finishes his workout.


There's a lesson to be learned in all of this, and that is never be nice to old people or pretend to be interested in anything they say. This would have never come about had I not pretended to show interest in his book "victorian parlour poems" (which i might add he is bringing to his next workout)
