But by that time I had grown up enough to love it. Love it enough so that I graduated with two Bachelor's degrees, then went on for two Master's degrees, and a few years after that, a Doctorate.

Honourable Stitchawl - I think this is the beginning of a wonderful bio that has events which could keep us all reading while our tea gets cold. Further, I think it would be such fun to sit near the hearth with you and to listen to your telling of some of the adventures, like these, that have fashioned your life - perhaps with a wee dram of Bombay Sapphire. In the meanwhile, nice to share this place with you.
