When Morgan and I need to shop for produce, we like to make a "date" of it at the farmer's market (seasons/weather permitting). Or we'll go to a bookstore and look for a good novel, or a new cookbook.
I had the same thought. When I tried college, most everyone was in their 20's or 30's; maybe a handful of students were in their 40's, trying again after raising a family or some such thing. But what about this little guy? What would his social life be like?
