7. Great

Sounds like I'll hear about it when the alarm clock-radio switches on.

Unless they're doing the fund drive instead of the news. Or talking about the Rockies. Either could happen.

8. The first year after college I was working in a lab

and one of the Phds in my lab- her father won the Nobel Prize in Economics- Lawrence Klein at University of Pennsylvania. And at the University of Chicago where we were working there was someone who won a nobel prize in Physics that year. There was a sign up at the dry cleaners congratulating him! It kinda weirded me out!
