Extra Credit

 

 

On Saturday, I joined the Food Forest group at Old West to do some light sweating and gardening. Not only so, I also dragged Rae with me, who thought she had signed up for a leisure Saturday morning of late wake up and brunch before our afternoon main event. At the Food Forest, the morning kicked off with a round of introductions. There were two newbies there- a young man and a young woman. College students from Northeastern volunteering for course credit. One made up a reason about being interested in nature whereas the other one very clearly had 0 interest. When asked what made him take the course, he thought for a long hard minute and then said, "personal reason." Rae was charitable and thought he had deep reasons that were too complicated to explain. I followed Occam's razor and think it had to do with wanting to hang out with the other student.
