Real Genius (life/teaching)

I recently had the opportunity to wax poetic (IM style) with a friend about the merits of Real Genius; it provides me with many opportunities for random thougths throughout my life. In addition to the obvious popcorn visual, that guy who lived in the wall and got an RV because he figured out the mathematical aspect of no-purchase-necessary contests wanders through my mind every once in a while. Recently, I have been channeling his approach. I have registered myself for the entire Neil Young diskography, entered my school for a personal appearance from a famous childrens author, and tried to outfit my classroom with my wildest with crayola fueled dreams. Now, if I could reproduce the guy's success rate. But, I can't even get my taxes together. So, the motivation for multiple postcards is just too much to think about.
