Decision Time

When my Real Husband was in graduate school we had a decision to make. Should we stay in the quiet, country setting with the nice brick house but long commute - or move to the big city to live in cramped quarters on the university campus? The latter choice would require my working full time at the university.

We had two children and our #1 daughter was about to start kindergarten.

One day we visited the sweet farm wife who would also be our daughter's kindergarten teacher. Her television set was on. Ronald Reagan, the former star of movies and TV and the former president of the Screen Actors Guild and, at that time, governor of California, was giving a speech.

I asked, "Do you think Ronald Reagan will ever be president?"

She replied: "Who's Ronald Reagan?"

DECISION MADE! Off to the university.
