Himself: We have begun saving water at last here.

Herself: The Mayor’s budget cuts will be closing the community room where the writing class is held. We are calling and emailing in protest, but we are actively looking for a new place for class.

  1. Wow. I think I checked all the items on the list! I don't remember prank calling, but I am sure I did as a teenager :)

  2. With very few exceptions, mostly notably "skipped school" which I never did, I've done nearly all. That, too, is some measure of success isn't it?
