We became pros at sneaking that extra half-hour: just for today; I’ll clean my room; no Mom, it’s a special double episode; Channel 9 is okay because it’s educational...
...March 11), the thought occurred to me: Harvard students need to shut the crap up and stop whining. Seriously.

He imagines this revisionist pep talk: "We've got to have some comprehensive drug testing for three reasons. 1) It's an unlevel playing field; 2) you're forcing some of us to make the decision to either fall behind competitively or place our own health at risk; and 3) many of us have achieved great things legitimately--why should these cheating bums cast doubts on our achievements...
