I hope so for her, and so far she is lucky enough to have me for her grandpa... Nothing wrong with that.

Actually Mrs Spoiler and I went to Daytona Beach today and met her for lunch as she is there with some girlfriends for spring-break.
I never took part in spring-break while at my 5 colleges or universities. Was often working my way through at these places.

Always had a life long love of learning. The College of San Mateo was near Belmont, CA where I worked at Information Access Company. I took two semesters there of Spanish at night. Had a very nice Professor who had gotten her MA at Stanford according to her.

Took a lot of languages after getting my law degree with a smattering of German, Dutch, Italian, Russian, Japanese, and Chinese. All taken at the U of MN but some of them I dropped as I was stretching myself too thin and already had four degrees. This was after the Spanish courses in CA and German and French classes at the University of Nevada, Reno.

I was studying for the MN Bar too but only half-heartedly as librarians are not allowed to practice law. It would have only have beefed up my resume if I could have written that I had passed such-and-such a bar exam. I missed the 2nd time with a score of 251/260. You needed at least a 260 to pass in Minnesota.

NOTHING but these do help with FunTrivia.
