On Friday, Mark gave me the full tour of his school, highlighting the various backdrops for his stories that I have heard a thousand times.

"I changed my sheets today for the first time in, like, months." (Note: It was parents weekend :) And, of course, the simple but classic: "What the hell happened to you last night."
