Mostly because there's absolutely nobody in my life other than my husband who I can have a decent conversation wtih. It's not like I don't know educated people, but their education (and I'm talking lawyers and on that level) is meaningless outside their profession. Plus they get intimidated. I really have to dumb down everything I say. That is no fun at all. I wonder who I'll be talking to starting in 2006.
