July 17th, 2005I looked across the table and watched Kathy reading her textbook. Her eyes were locked in a fierce struggle with each and every word. She conquered each one relentlessly and moved across the page swiftly. Then she noticed my gaze and looked up.
"I'm craving Chicken McNuggets," she declared.
