AAAAAAAAAAARGH!
I was at work today and on my way to lunch when this fellow I work with stopped me and asked my opinion of a write-up he'd done for this professional group we both belong to. He had several wordings in mind for various parts of it and whatnot and wanted my opinion of their effectiveness in attracting new members.

While I was listening to some of my co-workers conversing last friday, I started thinking about psychiatry, and then that made me think about Nathaniel Hawthorne.
