Corrections, Retractions, and Apologies...
First the Correction:
The Lost One does not in fact do windows (or clean in general), so he is in fact, not the perfect 50's house wife. I guess I'll have to rely on my native cunning, devastating handsomeness, and Winsome sense of humor for getting dates. My Mother is never getting grandchildren.
Then the Retractions:
The Lost One would, officially, and for the record, like to rescind all the bad things he said about Profesora F_________ and her Clase. She's not "soulless" (read she does find the Lost One funny, just rarely, and not usually when he is trying to be), she is a generous grader (which makes her two step's short of sainthood in the Lost One's book), and as to the claim she's like a video professor...Well, okay that one stands on the merits, but she's gotten better (She's finally started with the outside sources). The Lost One must also review his level of respect for her and her teaching style as the relatively tame praise of, "good opening paragraph" left the Lost One purring like the Lost Kitty post-saucer of warm milk...Hmmmmm, could her whole lack of praise, and warmth be a Machiavellian manipulation of the Lost One, and the rest of the clase? What if she's merely using the old carrot and stick paradigm, plus the stick, minus the carrot? Perversely, thinking she's manipulating him, only makes the Lost One respect her more. On a related note The Lost One has decided he needs to leave the Political Science Dept. Soon. It's doing things to his head. Thank the sweet great maker he's going into the virtuous field of Legal practice...Wait a second, something's wrong with that last thought...Whatever.
And now the apology:
During a recent trip to the grocery store the Lost One ran across the new Star Wars promotional cereal box (Cee-Three-Pe-Oh's or some such dorkiness) the internal conversation went a little something like what follows:

Cereal Box: Buy me and your training is complete! Join the Dark side!
Lost In Academia: Never! I'll never join you!
C.B.: Your Mother never told you what happened to your Father's social life, did she?
L.I.A.: She told me enough, she told me you killed it!
C.B.: Lost, I am your Father's social Life!
L.I.A..: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
And so the Lost One would like to apologize, to himself. You deserve better. Oh, is that New Emper-oh's, now with marshmallow Death Stars? Well, it is limited edition...
