...degree and don’t need any more education. You haven’t slept past 11:30 AM in six years, and the last time you just dropped in on one of the people in your apartment building, your neighbor thought you were the super trying to collect the rent. And you’re not about to get drunk on cheap beer at your company’s Friday Beer Bash and hook up with Tiffani from Human Resources in front of everyone you know, so that particular form of nostalgia is also closed...
...journalists to win the highest awards in newspaper reporting and magazine writing twice. You would think this would make them arrogant (hard as it may be to believe that a journalist could be arrogant), but they are models of self-effacement. My only quibble with them is that they collect so many statues and plaques (just two weeks ago, they won the Sigma Delta Chi award for magazine investigative reporting for their campaign-finance stories) that I'm spending too much time going to luncheons in their honor.

Many people, impelled by feelings of patriotism, are happy to help. But things get murky quickly...
...deli counter, and when it rings, D answers. Soon enough, Donald, D and their friend Trix (Geordie F. Broadwater ’04) become involved in a shady operation (vaguely resembling a drug deal) which brings them to a bridge in New Jersey to return the phone and collect a reward. Unfortunately, their plans go awry when Donald, who has a medical condition that gives him seizures, has an episode. It is in this way that Donald meets Gaby (Jordan R. Berkow ’03), one of the two people who come to collect the cell phone...
