Comment on Help me surprise Catherine

Comments

I really hate when people ask for help or advice achieving a certain goal and what they get in response is a bunch of yap about how they shouldn't want to do that in the first place.

But I dislike stuff like "The Flatiron School" even more so. I want to help you and Catherine. I remember too well driving junk-yard cars for days straight only to spend a few hours with my long-distance[1] because plane tickets were impossibly out of reach. The others are right though: I'd sooner donate to send you guys on a cruise than essentially give money to the "Flatiron" folks.

I know that seems entirely unhelpful. Sorry.

[1] I did marry her in the end and that sweet suffering has become part of our collective mythology, now imparted to our own wide-eyed children. Succeed or fail, you're doing the awesome part right now.
